Obituary.

Zela Leona, infant daughter of John and Nellie Butler, departed this life April 15, 1898, aged 4 months and 15 days. This little flower was too tender for this world so God had it transplanted to a more heavenly clime. The sorrowing parents have the sympathy of the entire community.

God has called our darling Zela,
Away from this cold earth,
But we will be reminded of her,
By the little empty berth.

But she is safe with Jesus,
Away beyond the sky;
Where dwells that angelic band,
And the saints shall never die.

We may all be sad and lonely,
As our life’s journey we pursue;
But by and by we shall meet her,
If to Jesus we are true.

NOTE FROM CONTRIBUTOR: Zela Leona Butler was born December 1, 1897 and died April 14, 1898
