Death of a Dear Child. - Rarely, if ever, have these columns chronicled a 
sadder incident than the death of little Evelyn Goette, the six-year-old 
daughter of Sidonius Goette and the late Josephine Sobral, which took place 
shortly before noon Wednesday, after a two weeks illness with bronchial 
pneumonia. From the first it was hovering over her, and every resource at 
the command of medical skill, supplemented by the most tender and careful 
nursing, was employed in the effort to restore the precious child to health. 
But God's will is not always our will, and often times He plucks the fairest 
flower of all the field for the garden of paradise.

A bright, beautiful child, full of joy and happy spirits, it was 
heartbreaking to see her fall sick and fade away under the blighting touch 
of disease. Although her pain must have been excruciating at times, the bore 
her little body and soul bravely through the ordeal, nor once did she 
complain suffering much in silence rather than bring anguish to those about 
her.

As the beautiful fall day was drawing to a close, the little white casket 
containing its fair burden of inanimate clay, covered with spotless flowers 
- emblems of her untainted soul - was borne to the Catholic cemetery and 
there left with tears and prayers to the sweet fragrance of the blossoms 
strewn by loving hands about her last resting place and to the songs of the 
birds that carol their softest notes in the quiet friendliness of the tombs.

Evelyn was a dear little girl. Intelligent, affectionate and dutiful, she 
was the beloved pet of all her relatives and friends, and the untimely 
ending of her sweet young life has wrung the hearts of all who knew her.

Words can not console the bereaved family, but there is solace in the 
thought that their precious one will never more suffer pain or sickness, and 
that little Evelyn is safe in the Father's care and with the angels around 
the throne of God.
