After thirteen days illness with Entero Colitis Little Flosie Irena, daughter of C. W. and Maggie Afflerbach, departed this life July 6th at 2:30 p.m. Age 1 year, 1 month and 22 days.

The funeral was held July 7th at M. E. church at 3:00 p.m. by Rev. Smith, after which the little form was interred into the Ebenezer cemetery to await the resurrection morn. The parents have the consolation of the entire community in this the hour of affliction.

From South River - Far away in the land of the pure and bright, Dwells little Flosie, our hearts delight. But her tiny hands still beckon us on, To the heavenly land where she has gone. We loved her so, but God knew best, So he called her home to that Cavern of rest. In heaven above an Angel of light, She shines mid the gathered jewels bright.
