Thursday, June l7, l920

LUCILLE POUSH was born in Davis City, Iowa, February 8, l906, and departed this life June 9, l920. During her illness, which lasted for more than four years, she was always patient and uncomplaining, ever kind and considerate for others. She realized that her departure to her home in that Great Beyond was nearing. She made all arrangements for her funeral, which were followed as nearly as possible. One of her last requests was that her shroud and casket could be pink. She said that white seemed so cold that she did not want it. A short time before she died, she told her mother that much as she loved her she loved Jesus more and that she was ready and wanted to go to Him.

Her life was a beautiful example, and her short stay here was as the passing of the fragrant flowers she loved so well. Her influence still lives with us, for, "good never dies."

The funeral services were held in the Methodist Episcopal Church in Davis City. J.D. Boyer, of Belle Plaine, Kansas, spoke words of comfort on the occasion. The body was laid to rest in the Davis City Cemetery to await the morning of the glorious resurrection when the graves shall give up their sleeping dead.
