OBITUARY.

Archie Guy, son of Archibald and Malissia Garrett, was born in Green township, Hancock county, September 7th, lf94. Guy was a bright, intelligent boy. He had lived his fe^ short years among us. and gained many warm friends by his quiet gentle disposition.

During the past winter Guy was stricken with measles, from which he had not fully recovered, yet sufficiently so to enable him to mingle with his friends and school mates again but later he contracted a deep cold and suffered a relapse of the measles, and his then weakened constitution, did not prove strong enough to battle with the disease, and on Tuesday morning, April 5th, 1910, the spirit of our dear Savior flitted athwart the room of Guy like a summer zephyr and kissed the heart of the sufferer. His gentle spirit took its flight to the Paradise of God Guy gently fell asleep to awaken in his Heavenly Father's home, where, he with the dear one who went home three short years ago, are beckoning to father, mother, brothers and sisters to so live, that when the Angel of Death shall again visit this earthly home, all will be prepared to go and meet the loved ones there. Oh, let us all remember that the hour of death draws near. About two years ago Guy confessed his Savior and was baptized into covenant with Him.

How it fills our hearts with anguish and sorrow that one so young should be taken and though sorrowing and sorrowful, yet hoping iand hopeful, we toil on in the spirit of our departed one, reverently and devoutly praying in this sad bereavement that we may have grace to say through our tears "Thy will bedone." Prior to Guy'slast sickness he had been a splendid specimen of healthy, vigorous, young boyhood. His friends had in the past week began to walk in the shadow of the sadly coming event and yet when death with its sickle keen, cut down this young life, we were startled. We seem scarcely ever to become so anticipant as not to be surprised at death's coming, and now to you, upon whose lives this sorrow casts such a gloom, though you may not be able to understand this sad dispensation, let your hearts be comforted by the sweet assurance.

"What e're I do, where e're I be Still 'Tis God's hand that leadeth me."

Which mingled with the words of him who so lovingly said, I am the Resurrection and the Life, can brighten the gloomiest soul.

Guy will be missed by the family, and by his many friends. To those who knew him best, there will remain the memory of a quiet, gentle, patient boy.

"Oh we sigh for the touch of a vanished hand, And the sound of a voice that is still."

Card of Thanks.

We wish to extend our sincere thanks to our neighbors and friends who aided us during the sickness and death of our dear son and brother, and also for the beautiful floral offerings and also the minister, Mr. Howe, for his kind words. Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Garrett and family.

SELMA LEOJs STRUBBE.

Selma Leon Strubbe, daughter of David and Clara Strubbe, was born June 19th, 1900, and departed this life April 5th, 1910, at 1 o'clock a.m., aged 9 years, 9 months and 16 days. Her death was due to scarlet fever, and from a bright, happy and beautiful child, she was transformed in a few days by the All wise Father to a brighter, happier and more beautiful angel to live with him forever in that wonderful place where all are as little children. The sun seemed always to shine for Selma and she often made those around her to forget the clouds and shadows, by the ever pleasant smile, her sunny disposition, kindnes and thouglitfulness for others. Not only in the home was she as a bright ray of sunshine, but among her many-friends through-' out the neighborhood, and especially in the school where she was a favorite with all, both large and small, will she be sadly missed and sincerely monrned. The love and esteem of her schoolmates were fittingly acknowledged in two great bunches of beautiful and fragrant flowers* pure and sweet like the young life just gone out. In the home made so sad by the calling of this bright star, to shine always in the beautiful world without end, are the father, mother, a brother, Eddie and two sisters, Emma and Dorothy. A grandmother also survives to share the burden of sorrow and grief, which time will help to heal, leaving the memory of little Selma as she was in life, to be a blessing and benediction.

Card of Thanks. I

We desire to extend our heartfelt and sincere thanks and appreciation to the friends and neighbors and to all who were so kind and sympathetic during the illness and at the death of

our

daughter and sister, Selma. We are also grateful for the beautiful flowers and for every kindness shown

I

us in our sadness and our loss. David Strubbe, Wife and Children.

Soon will the sorrow be over, Soon will the mourning be hushed, We shall the love then discover In what our hearts now have crushed. Not lost is our darling, just resting awhile To waken again in the light of His smiles. They are watching for us in that heavenly land With glorified saints in the kingdom they stand. We've laid our dear Julia beneath the green sod, Yes, we've laid her away in the garden of God. No shadow of sickness or death doth appall With bodies immortal before him they fall. We'll see Julia again in the sweet bye and bye. She'll greet us with joy in those mansions on high. The latch shall be lifted, the door opened wide, The friends who are sleeping but never have died Shall rise at the call of the Christ crucified And ever with loved ones and Jesus abide.
