Geneva nellie Bsbb.

On the morning Of February %.
1920. the baby daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. 2. NJ. Bavb, passed quietly from
this world Of pain into rest.
Geneva nellie Babb was born Feb
ruary 8, 1919, being one year and fif.
teen days old. She had suffered Sc
verely for several DAYS from pncu.
monia. Why this suffering and pain,
our finite minds cannot grasp, ana
only our faith in an Infinite love, can
enable us to bear the great pain OF
separation. What seraphic visions
greeted her upward flight, as il was
bourne by unseen hands into the hands
elvsian, no finite mand can grasp. No
more pain for her, but love untold in
the presence Of Him who said, "Suf.
fer little children to come unto me,
and forbid them not, for such Is the
Kingdom Of Heaven"
The bereaved father, mother and
three sisters have the truest sympa-
thy Of the whole community in this
sad hour.
Farewell, little sweetheart. You
cannot come to US, but we can come
to you.
Funeral services were conducted
from the family home in Oregon, on
