All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/va/vafiles.htm ************************************************ ANNA ETHEL HASTY The death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. G.W. Hasty last Thursday, February 27th, and claimed their little two and a half years old baby girl, Ethel. Little Ethel had always been a delicate child and when she was taken with influenza, the end soon came. All was done that loving hands could do to save her, but God knew best and took her home. She leaves to mourn their loss a mother, father, one sister and three brothers. May God's richest blessings rest upon the bereaved ones, in their lonely hours of sorrow. "Dearest loved ones do not sigh,/ Tho' little Ethel has said goodbye,/ We will meet her in the sky,/ Bye and bye, bye and bye./ Forever they are fading,/ Our beautiful, our bright,/ She gladdened us a little while,/ Then passed away from sight./ A little while we're parted,/ From her we loved the best,/ She has gained the goal before us,/ And entered into rest./ When one by one we gather,/ Beneath our Savior's smile,/ We'll be with Ethel forever,/ And never say goodbye./ Anna Ethel HASTY, daughter of George W. & Josie HASTY, b.
