A Sad Death

Miss Minnie Persons, daughter of J.M. Persons, died Wednesday after a long 
spell of fever.

The deceased was just budding into womanhood and her death is particularly sad.

She was a sweet and lovable girl, beautiful in face and more beautiful in 
character and her death fills the hearts of all who knew her with sorrow.

She is at rest, and her pure soul, clothed in the beautiful garments of light 
rejoices in the personal knowledge of a loving Savior.

Doyle Items

On the seventeenth day of June the spirit of Minnie Persons took its heavenly 
flight and our first thought was why one so young, so useful and so good should 
be taken from us, but we know that our loss is her gain and though her presence 
is denied us, her influence will last forever leading us on the better work, 
nobler aspirations and truer living.

In early childhood she gave her heart to God and since that time she has led a 
beautiful Christian life, at all times doing so willingly any work for her 
master, that her hands found to do.

Some of her best work was done in the Epworth League and Sunday school and by 
her death we have lost one of our most earnest workers and loyal members.

Though taken in the bloom of young womanhood, her mission had been fulfilled 
and,

God in his wisdom has recalled,
The boom his love had given,
And though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in heaven.
