Thursday, March l, l923

HELEN LOUISE, daughter of MILTON and FANNIE GLAZEBROOK, was born in Decatur County, Iowa, Feb. l9, l9l6 and departed this life, Feb. l8, l923. Had she lived three hours longer, she would have been seven years old.

Little HELEN was a very sweet little child, with a sunny disposition, who made a friend of everyone she met, and found a place in their hearts. She was loved by all who knew her. Her sickness was a short one and was not thought to be so serious until a short time before her death; she repeatedly spoke of "Baby House," and when her father asked her if she saw a house for her, she said, "Yes, a pretty house." Again she said "Let me go, Oh, let me go. We shall meet her in the first resurrection. We shall miss her here but God has chosen her to be with Him and the angels. She is now safe in the arms of Jesus with her mother and those dear ones who have gone on before, and shall never suffer anymore and know no sin here in this world.

She leaves to mourn her death, her father, two brothers, two sisters, grandparents and a host of relatives and friends. Her mother having gone on before about four years ago and two sisters and one brother preceding her to that Better Land.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. L.E. Brown and T.O. Andrew, at the Pentecostal Church in Grand River. Text: Job l4:l. "Man that is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble." And Psalm l03:l5, l6. "As for man his days are as grass or a flower of the field, so he flourisheth, for the wind passeth over it and it is gone.
