Obituary of Betty Mae Watson

Betty Mae Watson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Watson, was born at Oglesby, Ill., Sept. 8, 1921, and died at the home of her parents, 404 14th St., N. W., Mason City, Iowa, on May 26, 1929, at the age of 7 years, 8 months and 18 days.

In 1923 she came with her parents to reside in Mason City. Betty was a pupil at the Monroe School and an attendant at the Sunday School of the First Church of Christ Scientist. She was a sweet and happy disposition.

Her illness, which proved to be fatal, began six weeks ago. The Master who loves the little children took her to Himself Sunday morning. How fitting that after her weary days of unrest, caused by her sickness, she should enter that eternal Sabbath of rest on Sunday morning.

She leaves to mourn her early passing her parents, one brother Robert, two years of age, her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Goettel of Lansing, Iowa, and other relatives and friends.

The funeral services were held at the Patterson Funeral Home, Mason City, Wednesday morning, May 29th, at 9 a.m., and were in charge of Rev. P. W. Pfaltzgraff, pastor of Grace Evangelical Church.
