Baby Rohwer

The friends and neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Rohwer are sympathizing with them over the loss of their infant daughter, Berniece Frances.

She came to brighten their home on Nov. 16, 1924, and after a short stay of eighteen days in spite of every effort to save her from the dreaded influenza which she had contracted she died on Thursday, December 4th.

O not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The reaper came that day;
'Twas an angel visited this green earth
And took the flowers away.

A short service was held from the home on Friday afternoon, Dec. 5th, by their pastor, the Reverend J. J. Snyder, and burial was made in the Oakdale Cemetery at Beaman.
