Bartlett and took away their loving son, Robert. He had been ill only a few days with pneumonia following influenza. Thus as the budded rose would unfold into the beauty and fragrance of a full developed flower lending brightness and gladness to this world, so it was with Robert – sixteen years of age – just as his life was unfolding into strength and glory of young manhood, thereby adding joy to the family circle and happiness and sunshine to his many loved ones. Robert was the light and blessing of his home and scattered a ray of sunshine everywhere he went, dispersing the gloom of everyone he met, and always looking on the bright side of life. Oh, God, how hard it is! But we yield with a trusting heart, Father. Though the thorn that pierces our hearts to the depths, there blooms the fragrant flower of Christian comfort, and thru our tears, falling thick and fast, there beams the sweet splendor from that star of Heavenly Hope which lighted his way through the last hours of suffering and death to his glorious home of the soul. He leaves a mother and father, three brothers, two sisters and a large number of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. The funeral service was conducted at the family residence in Butler, interment taking place in Bethel cemetery.
