JIMMY BALDWIN In Memory On Saturday morning February 11, 1922, the angel of death entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. U.M. Baldwin and claimed for his own their youngest child, Jimmie, age 6 months. She was the joy and pleasure of their home; sent to earth for a purpose, her little mission was fulfilled so God called her home. We cannot understand for she was such a pleasure, yet we must submit to the will of our Father who knows and does all things for the best. Her sweet bright eyes are closed in death, her little form is motionless yet in our memory, she will live forever. We see her thru a mist of tears, as she walks the streets of gold, where we know there is no pain and suffering such as our Darling had to bear while here on earth. Her little life was spotless; she was only a sweet bud on earth transplanted to blossom in heaven. She leaves a heartbroken father and mother, one sister and two brothers, a host of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. When we are all called to go to meet Little Jimmie and the loved ones gone on before, may we form an unbroken family. We had a little treasure once. She was our joy and pride. We loved her, ah perhaps too well For soon she slept and died. All is dark within our dwelling, Lonely are our hearts today, For the one we loved so dearly, Has forever passed away. Darling Jimmie, She has left us Left us, Yes, forever more. But we hope to meet our loved on On that happy shore. Peaceful be thy silent slumber, Peaceful in thy grave so low, Thou no more will join our number, Thou no more our sorrows know. Yet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life is fled, And in heaven with joy to greet thee, When no farewell tears are shed. Aunt Sister.
