Obituary of Julia Irene Russell, Hardin County, Illinois Copyright 1999 Wanda Reed Name of Deceased: Julia Irene Russell Name of Newspaper: Hardin County Independent Date of Newspaper: Obituary: In Memory of little Julia Irene Russell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.F. Russell, who was born September 13, 1900. On May 17th. was taken ill with spinal meningitis. All was done that medical skill and loving hands could do, but all in vain. God saw best to send his death angel and carry her home on May 18th. 1923. She was then 12 years, 8 months and 5 days old. On the day following her death, her remains were laid to rest in the family cemetery, in the presence of a crowd of sympathizing friends. There is a place left vacant in the home which can never be filled. Little Julia was a bright and intelligent child, in school was apt in her studies and will be greatly missed in school and elsewhere. Weep not dear parents, brothers and sisters, Julia is like unto a little star or asteriod which shines by night, but when the day dawns seemingly goes out. It doesn't go out but shines in another hemisphere. Little Julia's light has ceased to shine in this world, but will shine in another world where all will be joy and gladness and parting will be no more. Eva J.
