Infant Daughter of Melvin Beaver Dies
LelaMay, daughter of Melvin and Mable Beaver, was born March 29, and died April 8, age only eleven days. She remained but a few brief days but long enough to get a strong hold on the heartstrings of all the family. She was a little messenger of light and love and though gone now, yet she is here and has a place like that of no other in the hearts of the young mother and father. The neighbors and friends sympathize very deeply with the young parents in their great loss.

Funeral services were held from the home Sunday afternoon with Rev. J. W. LaGrone of the Methodist Episcopal church in charge and Helen Robinson and Marjory Meadows sang two selections. The little body was laid away in the Oak Hill cemetery to await the day of resurrection. (Vindicator and Republican, Estherville, IA, April 13, 1921)
