kind and lovable disposition always
doing a good deed for someone else,
trying to make them happy. She was
such help to both father and moth

was done and came hand in hand with
papa. She had been ailing for about
two months and seemed to grow
weaken day by day till last Wednes-

rise. She grew worse and Thursday
night about o'clock she fell asleep
not to awaken in this world but to
awake in Jesus The pallbearers
were Lillian, Lulu, Catherine and Ce-

Mildred Lucille Schramm.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filed
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon his love has given,
And though the body slumbers here
The soul is safe in heaven.

other relatives and little school
mates. A little sister preceded her to
the home that has no sorrows.
Those little lips so sweet to kiss
Are closed forever now.
Those sparkling eyes that shone so
bright
Beneath that pearly brow.
That little heart that beat so high
Free from all care and gloom,
Are hidden now from those she
loved
Beneath the silent tomb.
