February 8, 1928

Elizabeth Lena GRIFFITH, of 716 Madison Street, Topeka, was born in Scranton,
Kansas, December 28th, 1901 and passed away at the home of her mother, Mrs. Joe
BAUER, at 1127 North Topeka Avenue, Topeka, Kansas, January 30th, 1928, at the
age of twenty-six years, one month and two days.
Elizabeth received injuries in an auto accident several months ago, which later
resulted in her death.
She was taken to St. Francis Hospital shortly after the accident from which she
sufficiently recovered to return to work. But was again taken ill several weeks
ago and taken to Stormont Hospital, where the best medical aid was given her,
but without results, and at her request she was taken home January 24th, but the
spirit took it's departure to the great beyond.
Elizabeth started at the printing shop at Mulberry, Kansas at the age of
seventeen years, where she worked for four years; then came to Scranton and
worked for Mrs. Canfield at the printing office and in 1924 she went to Topeka
and was employed by Crane & Co. until the time of her death.
She leaves to mourn her loss, her mother and stepfather, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bauer,
one brother, David R. Griffith, all of the home address and one sister, Bertha
M. Griffith, of 716 Madison and a host of relatives and friends. A short service
was held at the home at one o'clock by the Rev. Thompson and the body was
brought to Scranton, where services were held at the Methodist church at 3:00
o'clock conducted by the Rev. Baungh and the remains were laid to rest in the
Scranton cemetery.
She was a member of the A.O.U.W. Lodge of Scranton, Kansas.
Her last and parting words were: "tell everyone, just tell everyone that I'm
going to sleep."
A precious one from us is gone,
WHome we tried so hard to save.
>From friends on earth, loved ones at home; we shall miss dear Elizabeth 
In way more than we can tell, 
For your smile and tender love,
But for God alone knew what was best 
So he took her home for eternal rest.

Card of Thanks.
We wish to express our greatest thanks to those who so kindly assisted us during
the sickness and death of our loved one, Elizabeth and also for the beautiful
flowers. 
Miss Bertha M. Griffith, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bauer, Mr. David R. Griffith.
