In MEMORY

The death angel visited the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Kent Stewart and took
their beloved daughter, Velma Opal
Stewart. born March rs. 1907 She
departed this life Dec 90, 1919. age Il
years months and 20 days Her
death was caused by typhoid fever
She is where no more fever will burn
her brow. We know she is safe in the
arms of our Savior. Little Yelma was
laid in the tomb until the judgment
day. Father and mother. do not weep
for your little daughter is waiting for
you on the other shore She is not
dead but sleeping.
She was an unusually bright and
cheerful girl always wearing a smile
and ready with kindly greeting for
every friend and neighbor. She leaves
a father, mother and one brother and
a host of relatives and friends to mourn
her death. She always had a good
word for everybody and she was
greatly loved by all who knew her.
We extend our sympathy to the be-
reaved family. She will be missed in
many ways as kind and loving
daughter and sister. She was always
kind to her parents and she thought
that there was nothing like papa and
mamma. She loved TO go to Sunday
School and she will be greatly missed
in Sunday School.
She was unconscious almost TO the
last, but she realized she was passing
into eternity. She is gone where there
will be no more goodbyes. The silver
cord is loosened, the golden crown IS
broken in the family forever. You can
not call your daughter back again and
YOU wiuld not if you could. for God
lad better place for her than here.
You would not want her TO suffer like
she did before.
The funeral took place at Garrett
Chapel on Christmas day, conducted by
Bro. Campbell Her body was laid 10
est in the Lambert graveyard on East |
Fork. A LOVING FRIEND.
