Obituary

How true it is that “death loves a shining mark “. On May 26, without warning the angel of death entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. E.M. Constant and claimed their only daughter, Vera, aged 1 year, 10 months and ten days. The funeral services was conducted by Rev T. S. Hawley, pastor of the Presbyterian church, from the residence, and the angel form was accompanied by a large concourse of sympathetic friends to its last resting place in the I.O.O.F cemetery, there to await the final summons of him who said : “Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven. “ The snow white casket was literally covered with wreath and garlands of flowers donated by loving friends, the last tokens of love and esteem the living can pay to the dead. Fain would do more to relieve the heart felt anguish of those bereaved parents, but words are inadequate to still the tide of sorrow of those who mourn for departed loved ones: but we must not forget that it is written: He doeth all things well.”
