Gertrude Elizabeth, only child of Mr. and Mrs. N. F. Hodgdon, passed away Wednesday, Feb. 10, at her home in Oelwein, aged 4 months, 1 week and 3 days.
She was the granddaughter of Mrs. C. P. Reis, of Howard county.
The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the entire community, as this is the third time that the grim hand of death has entered that home within the last year, Freeman, aged 5 and Roy, aged 3, having gone their Heavenly home last Jane.
“This lovely little bud, so young, so fair, just came to show how sweet a flower in Paradise would bloom."
