Clayton County Register, Thur., 12 Sept. 1929.

Bernice Meenan, the only and beloved child of George J. Meenan and Dina M., nee Gusta, was born near Communia, Iowa, October 29, 1923.

The child was presented for consecration to God in Holy baptism Dec. 11th, of the same year.

Last week little Bernice was taken to the Moran hospital, where she underwent an operation for appendicitis Friday morning and on the following day, September 7, at 7:45 in the morning, the Good Shepard took the little lamb to His bosom, she having attained the age of five years, ten months and eight days.

Her departure is mourned by the parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and other relatives.

"I spoke to my God
As I knelt in prayer,
and I said, "Thy care
Is our guard and guide,
Is she 'neath the sod
Who they said has died?"

And the answer came as the trumpet calls,
"She abides with me in the heavenly halls."

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. C. H. Franke on Monday, Sept. 9th at one p.m. at the family home near Communia and at two p.m. at the Evangelical church. Interment was made in the East Side cemetery.
