TO THE LOVING MEMORY OF

Little Joie Grouns. He was born July 14, 1902, and fell asleep in Jesus Jan. 5, 1907: I wonder, oh, I wonder, where the little faces go, That come, and smile, and stay awhile, and pass like flakes of snow— The dear, wee baby faces that the world has never known, But mothers hide, so tender-eyed, deep In their hearts alone. I love to think that somewhere, la the country we call heaven. The land most fair of anywhere will unto them be riven, A land of little faces—very little, very fair— And every one shall know her own and cleave unto it there. Oh, grant it. loving Father, to the broken hearts that plead; Thy way is best—yet oh, to rest in perfect faith indeed! To know that we shall find them; even them, the wee, white dead. At thy right hand, in thy bright land, by living waters led! We wish to express through the columns of this paper our sincere thanks and gratitude for the loving kindness shown by the neighbors during our sad bereavement. His loving father and mother, Julia and Joseph Grouns.
