IN MEMORY OF LITTLE OLLIE BEATRICE BAILEY

On the 16th day of November, 1927, at eleven o'clock at night, little Beatrice 
came to brighten the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bailey. On October 4, 1928, 
about eleven o'clock at night, the death Angel came and bore her sweet little 
spirit to that beautiful home of the soul, this making her stay on earth ten 
months and seventeen days.  She was a sweet little babe, always greeted 
everyone with a smile, but that dreaded disease, diptheria, took her precious 
little body away from us.  She was sick ten days and bore her sickness with 
the best of patience, never refusing any asisstance that we offered her to 
make her pains easier. She was too precious to stay in this cold and 
unfriendly world. But, oh, how sad it was to stand by our precious little 
darling and see her suffer when we knew she could not tell us what to do for 
her and knowing that she had never committed a sin, but God's will, not ours.

She had taken a few steps and could tell us "Ty, Ty". SHe had been with us 
just long enough to wind her dear little fingers around our hearts, and oh, 
such wounds it leaves to tear them aloose. The scars will forever remain in 
our hearts.

But we have nothing to grieve for, but the absence of her little presence. We 
know she can never come back to us, but as David said, "we can go to 
her."  "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the 
Lord."  But is is hard to become reconciled to His holy will in such trying 
times as taking our loved ones away, and without His grace we could not bear 
it. How precious was that rosebud, but God saw fit to pluck her away from us 
saying, "come now, you must bloom in Heaven."  So now, dear father and mother, 
bow in submission to His holy will, for you know she is in Heaven.  Her place 
here is vacant but her soul is now enjoying the celestial scenery and if we 
could only behold her, we would say "stay on, little Beatrice."

She leaves a heart broken mother and father, one sister, grandmothers and 
grandfathers, a great grandmother and a host of other relatives to mourn her 
untimely death. Her remains were placed in Glenn cemetery on Oct. 5, 1928 to 
await the resurrection morn.
