On Sunday, August 13, 1916 the death Angel came and took little 
Beatrice away from her parents Mr. and Mrs. W.J. Roberts of north of 
Sweetwater.  Age 10 years, 3 months and 24 days.

Beatrfice was sick only nine days.  She died under an operation for 
appendicitis.  They was no struggling, no agony, she closed her eyes 
and passed away, singing, "Tis so Sweet to trust in Jesus."  Her 
sinless soul passed from earth to God who gave her and now rests in 
paradise with the redeemed who have gone before.  Jesus said, "Suffer 
little children to come unto Me and forbid them not, for such is the 
kingdom of Heaven."  Then are we not justified in saying that little 
Beatrice has entered the Pearly Gates of Paradise where there is no 
sorrow, no pain nor heart aches.  Oh, to that fond father and mother 
it would be almost inhumanly cruel to ask you not to believe, for 
your hearts are bowed down with sorrow and you can not restrain the 
tears of grief, but let us remember that Jesus death made all things 
well, and that He had a purpose in taking your darling Beatrice from 
you.  We should endeavor to bow meekly and submissively to His will, 
for the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away"  Blessed be the name of 
the Lord."
