Mourn Death of Infant Son

Four Weeks Old Baby of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Meyers Called by Death.

On Saturday last (April 28th, 1923) just as dawn was breaking over the hills and ushering in a new day, the Angel of Death came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Meyers, and took their little baby boy, Bobbie Ray, aged four weeks and six days. He had been sick only a few days and altho every thing was done for him that could be done he steadily grew worse until Saturday morning when the spirit left the frail little body and went back to his Maker.

The parents and little brother, Howard, are left to mourn his loss and they have the sympathy of the entire community.

Dear little babe in your robes so white
So soon to be hidden from mortal sight
But your soul shining bright in the heavenly hands
And the dear little sweet, beckoning hands
Urging us on to do what is right
Dear little Bobby, good night, good night.
