In Memoriam.
In loving remembrance of our infant son, Marvin, who departed this life one year ago, March 18, 1930.

When evening shades are falling and we are sitting all alone,
In our hearts there comes a feeling if you only could come home.
You shall never be forgotten; never shall your memory fade.
Sweetest thoughts will always linger 'round the grave where you are laid.

Sadly missed by parents. Mr. and Mrs. Eldo Schutte.

[note: at first glance it seems that the baby had died March 18, 1930; but I believe the intent is to say that the baby passed away one year ago 'as of' March 18, 1930 - ie: died March 1929]

Little Marvin has gone but is not forgotten; he is gone to a brighter , fairer land to bask in the smiles of a precious Savior, who said "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." And in that fair and far-away land where no sorrows ever come, Little Marvin is waiting to welcome his parents, who so dearly loved him.

The funeral was held from St. Paul's Lutheran church in Postville last Fridny afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, Rev. E. T. Finck officiating. Interment in Postville cemetery.

In this connection, Mr. and Mrs. Eldo Schuttte wish to extend their heart felt and sincere thank to the many neighbors and friends for their kindly assistance and sympathy during the illness and burial of their beloved little son; also to Rev. E. T. Finck for his comforting words, the choir, the flower girls, those who expressed their sympnthy with beautiful flowers and those who provided automobiles.
