Babe of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Carlson of Alcester Died Jan. 6th Gordon Sedgwick Carlson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Carlson of Alcester, passed away at his home last Wednesday, Jan. 6th, following a two weeks' illness from a complication of diseases. He was born July 26, 1930, and passed away Jan. 6, 1932, and so was but 1 year 5 months and 10 days old at his death. Mrs. Carlson is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E, Sedgwick of Hawarden. Besides his parents he is survived by two sisters, Jean and Ruth. Gordon was greatly beloved by the members of his family as well as by hi» grandparents and will be greatly missed in the family circle. Sincere sympathy is extended to the sorrowing ones in their hour of trouble. Funeral services were held from the Nathanael Lutheran church in Alcester at 2 o'clock last Friday afternoon with Rev. D. J. Edward in charge of the services. The little form was laid to rest in Grace Hill cemetery in Ha* warden. The following poem was written by a friend of the family: God's Flower Garden Sometimes we can't quite understand Our Great Creator's way, When He takes a life so young And leaves one withered, old and gray, Whose life work here is finished— Perhaps \B waiting for the call While that life so young and tender Held so much here for us all. Then sometimes I get to thinking Perhaps this world down here below is just a flower garden Where God's flowers live and grow; and, perhaps when God is lonely, Like us, He loves to roam In his garden gathering flowers just to beautify His home. The He takes the full bloom flowers, drooped and withered, that need His care, Still He needs a bud or blossom to scatter with them here and there. So He takes a few choice blossoms, Just the rarest he can find, and because God needs them up in heaven, must comfort loved ones left behind.
