The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Shaw died Saturday morning February 13th, at the age of two weeks and five days. The funeral was held at the M.E. church in Gruver Sunday afternoon at two o’clock, and the little form laid to rest in the Swan Lake cemetery. Another little bud transplanted to the garden above, to ever dwell with the dear savior who said: Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Then cease dear parents,
Cease to mourn.
And dry thy flowing tear,
For God who loved thy little one,
Provideth well for her.
(Estherville Enterprise, Estherville, IA, February 17, 1904)
