In Memoriam of Lowell W. Reed
Lowell Woolums Reed, son of Mrs. Emma Reed, died at his home on Wednesday morning, October 23, of acute pneumonia. Lowell was ill but a few days, but not being in very rugged health, careful nursing and medical aid were not able to cope with the disease.
"One little boy is missing
From the village green tonight
One voice of merry laughter
One step quick and light."
But to all was particularly a home boy, his mother's constant attendant and little helper, and his brother's companion and it is there that he will be most [?] missed.
Private funeral services were held at the home, Friday morning.
Lowell being a great lover of flowers, it was fitting that the casket should be flowered with chrysanthemum and garden flowers, the expression of sympathy from friends and church and labor associates.
Rev. H.G. Finney read the story of David [?] of his child and other comforting passages from the Word of God, and spoke briefly of Lowell being as a fair [?] flower, gathered from earth to make glad the Father's home above; of the comfort there is in knowing that all children dying, go to be with Jesus and of the fact that those who are taken early are forever saved from the sorrows and evils and [?] of earth. In a sympathetic prayer, the little brother, Donald, who has been ill also, was especially commended to Jesus' care; and strength and prudence were invoked for the older brother, bearing responsibilities, and comfort and consolation for the parents, that they might know God as the God of all comfort.
Miss Lula Toms sang tenderly "My Father Knows" and "Jesus Loves Me. This I Know". The latter Lowell sang through to his mother, in his beautiful child treble on the eveing of his taking ill.
The little form was laid away on the hill slope in Oak Shade cemetery, to await the resurrection morn; but we believe already:
"One voice [?] joined the choir
In the angel song above.
One spirit bright and beautiful
Sings of redeeming love.
Look upward tearful mourner,
And wipe your tears away,
Though a little boy is mis[s]ing
From your cottage home today".
