Pearl Theodora Koboldt

Pearl Theodora Koboldt, youngest daughter of Harry and Martha Kobaldt, was born in Boone county, Iowa, near Beaver, September 21, 1927, and passed to her heavenly home January 29, 1931, aged 3 years, 4 months and 8 days. She leaves behind, her bereaved parents and sorrowing brothers and sisters, Myra, Earl, Mae, Wayne, Amy and Nina, her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Allen and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Koboldt besides aunts, uncles and cousins.

Pearl was a very sweet child and loved to go to Sunday School to get her paper. She was sick for several weeks at home before the diagnosis indicated appendicitis. She was then taken to Des Moines where an operation was performed in the Methodist hospital by Doctor Oliver Fay, one of Iowa’s most eminent surgeons. All that medical skill and nursing care could do failed to overcome the poison in her body caused by the ruptured appendix.

Your hearts and home will feel lonely without her but your bonnie wee girl has but gone on before, and you will feel richer because of her love and presence with you. The ties of love that are formed are eternal even if they are rudely severed.

The funeral was conducted from the Penn Center Church by the pastor of Early chapel Church of Christ, W. J. Hastie, assisted by Rev. J. E. Treloar of the Baptist church, Beaver.

A quartette consisting of Mrs. Mable Piatt, Mrs. Clara Mapes, Mrs. Mae Clague and Mrs. Parthenia Nierman sang “Beaconing Hands” “Asleep in Jesus” and “He is the One,” assisted at the piano by Mrs. Alma Leeper. Mrs. Nellie Taylor and Mrs. Elsie Piatt had charge of the beautiful flowers. Lucile Jones, Augusta Blomquist, Katherine Blomquist, Leanna Jones, Christina Cox, and Pauline Smith were the flower girls. Dorothy Smith, Myrtle Smith, Elsie Blomquist and Emma Johnson, close friends of Pearls, were the pallbearers.

(Alternate spelling is Kobaldt)
