OBITUARY

Little Rupert, aged one year and four days, only child of Mr. and Mrs. Walter 
Wilson died Sunday at one o'clock.  This precious baby boy was sick and a 
constant sufferer with bowel trouble for over four weeks.   At times it 
seemed that the little fellow was improving and then he would get worse 
again, till at last it was called from its sufferings to "the Rest prepared 
for the children of God," and crossed to the "beautiful home over there."  
Funeral services were held at the Baptist church Monday afternoon conducted 
by Rev. Harman and the remains of this precious treasure were tenderly laid 
to rest on the hill south of town.

Sleep on in thy beauty
Thou sweet angel child,
By sorrow unblighted
By sin undefiled.
Like the bird of the ark
Thou hast flown to thy rest
>From this wild sea of strife,
But laden with golden wheat.
