OBITUARY

Death is at all times an unwelcome guest and doubly so when there are only a few hours warning as was the case of little Grace BURKAHRT, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. BURKHART of Pembine, Wis. Little Grace was only sick three days it was only a few hours when the loved ones around here realized that the Angel of Death was hovering over her and almost without warning the little darling closed her eyes on earthly scenes as peacefully and calmly as though asleep. Little Grace was born in Fairfield nine years ago. The family moved to Wisconsin where they have since made their home. Grace with her sister Ruth, was always inseparable in the same grades in school. They always learned like twins. But God knows best and he saw fit that she was too good, sweet and pure to endure the trials and sorrows of this world, and he therefor sent an angel to bring his darling home and no doubt now she is singing praises to our Heavenly Father whom she so loved while on earth. It is not how long we live but how well we live and this is truly exemplified in this little darling's death. The bereaved parents and little sister Ruth have the warmest sympathy of their many friends in the county as they sit in the shadow that has robbed them of their little darling.

She was laid to rest Saturday afternoon amid a bed of flowers in the Evergreen cemetery. Rev. Tennant spoke comforting words to the bereaved ones. A large concourse of friends mas (sic - was) present to pay their last respects to the little one.--Contributed.

BECKWITH AND VICINTY (sic)

... Mrs. Belle SANDS BURKHART, and little daughter, Ruth were visiting their old time friends here last week. A reunion was planned and carried out for Mrs. Belle BURKHART of Pembine, Wis., and Mrs. Henrietta McCormick Brown of Denver, Colo. It was in the form of a picnic and was planned to have been held at the Beckwith school house, but was later decided to go to the home of Frank McCormick, and of course it was a success, and all went well until the distant thunder was heard and several felt that it was time to go home, although they had not got their visit out. But taken all in all, it was a day well spent.
