OBITUARY

The ways of the Creator are past our understanding.  God places His offerings 
of innocence and purity within our midst, where they blossom and create a haven 
of delight for us, seeming to grow more precious as time goes on.  They become 
part of our being and look to us for protection and guidance.  They develop 
from tiny buds into flowers of rare fragrance their beauty being limited only 
by the watchful care and love bestowed upon them.  We can do no more.  Their 
future course is marked by a vague uncertainty.  Fortunate indeed is the home 
where the circle remains unbroken through the years.  Alas, how often the 
flower withers while still in the early stage of beauty and fragrance.  
Sometimes, even the tiny buds are seemingly snatched from our grasp and borne 
away into the unknown, leaving us heartbroken by their flight.  Sometimes 
heaven is in need of just such a flower and God sends the Death angel to bring 
it home.  It is then that our lives seem bereft of all that is worthwhile.  We 
grope in the darkness of despair and can not understand the meaning of it all.  
Yet, we know that this is but a part of His divine plan.  Man proposes, while 
God disposes, and His will and wisdom must prevail  We can only trust that all 
is for the best, that we will meet again, and that the home circle will again 
be united.  

Patricia Alice Ann, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Killebrew, of this 
city, was born October 29, 1930.  A robust child, of unusual health and beauty 
and with never an indication of illness.  On February 21, she was stricken with 
a slight cold, which speedily changed into symptoms of pneumonia, and she 
passed away almost before her serious condition became known.

Funeral services were conducted at the Landon Undertaking parlors on Monday 
afternoon, February 23, the Rev. George Roseberry, pastor of the M. E. church 
of Fruitland, officiating.  Vocal music was furnished by a duet composed of 
Mrs. Guy Mangun and Mrs. C. I. Horton, accompanied by Mrs. R. L. Stevenson, 
while the tiny casket was almost hidden by the masses of floral tributes of 
neighbors and friends. Interment was in the family plot of the local cemetery.

“Ere sin could blight or sorrows fade, death came with friendly care,
The opening bud to heaven conveyed, and bade it blossom there.”
