WYNOT TRIBUNE -  OCTOBER 9, 1913

Laurence Howard Schmidt

Laurence Howard, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. N. Schmidt passed away 
at their home near St. Helena, Thursday, Oct. 2nd, 1913, aged nine 
months and two days.

Another sweet angel added to the great throng gone before. “Safely in 
the arms of Jesus”.  God has plucked a bright and beautiful blossom 
from the home now so desolate. He alone can pour balm upon the crushed 
hearts left to mourn. 

Little Laurence Howard was an unusually bright and beautiful child, 
the pride and joy of fond parents and grandparents and the admiration 
of all who knew him. Healthy and vigorous, it seems hardly believable 
that harsh hands of disease could so quickly blight so sturdy and 
promising life.  Everything that loving hand and skilled science could 
do could not stay the hand of the grim reaper and the slender thread of 
life was snapped asunder.  

The holy joy to the bereaved parents and grandparents is knowing that 
beautiful angel eyes are now watching and waiting for the coming of 
loved ones.  He is watching the portal and will receive them when life’s 
dark day is over with all tears are washed away. 

Tender and loving sympathy is extended to the stricken parents, 
grandparents and other relatives from neighbors and friends.  Laurence 
Howard is not dead but has been transported from the care and troubles 
of earth, and now stands at the gates beckoning loved ones to join him 
when life’s great journey is finished. 

The funeral services were held at the church in St. Helena Saturday 
morning at nine o’clock, being conducted by Rev. F.X. Korte.

Card of thanks
	We desire to extend our heartfelt thanks to the neighbors and 
friends who so thoughtfully and kindly administered aid and sympathy to 
our recently and greatly suffered loss of our only child. 

Mr. and Mrs. Howard Schmidt.
