OBITUARY

{Tribute in the memory of Little June, by her grandmother, Mrs. A. Foster, June 20, 1904, Blackwell, Okla.}
Our darling little June, born June 27th, 1896; died June 13th, 1904:
Only a rose bud, almost ready to bloom, but God through his wisdom and mercy saw fit to pluck and transplant it into that beautiful city where it is now blooming and all is peace, joy, love and happiness, where the lights never go out and the dazzling beauty of the sun never falls, but its radiance shines forth from the throne and illuminates the streets that are fashioned after God’s own direction. Beloved little June, so patient through the long months of suffering; also hopeful that she would sometime get well. In the last hours of patient waiting, so anxious to go home, in the vision some loved one whe saw and said, “Papa, who is it I see?”


The funeral of June Foster, the little girl who died Monday, took place from the home of her grandmother, corner of Blackwell avenue and D. street, Tuesday afternoon. Rev. Barrier conducted the service, after which the remains were taken by her parents to Mount Air, Iowa, for burial.
