Grace E. Queen, daughter of John and Laura Queen, was born July 8, 1901 and departed this life Feb. 12th, 1903 being one year seven months and four days old. Her stay was short but long enough for her sweet innocence to take hold of the deepest affection of the heart. The sorrowing family have sympathy of the entire community.
R. W. Matheny preached the funeral from Mark and the body was laid to rest in the Union Church cemetery to wait the hour when the angel porter shall call and she shall awaken in the likeness of Him who said, “Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
Note: Burial was made in the Union Chapel South cemetery.
