Obituary

Ray Rolland, the baby son of Mr. and Mrs. Ottie Crouthamel, was born Oct. 16, 1914, and passed away August 26, 1915, at the age of 10 months and 10 days.

Baby Ray has left us be he cannot be forgotten, altho his time here on earth was short, his mission was finished and sweet memories will always remain. He was so lovable and always had a smile for each and every one.

God has transplanted this dear tiny flower to another garden where a place has been prepared for him.

Ray had been sick for three weeks and after suffering so patiently, he went to sleep, Thursday morning at 2 o'clock, peacefully and without pain.

He leaves to mourn his death a loving father and mother, one sister Iva, his grandparents, other relatives and many friends.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Wilson at 1 P.M. Saturday from the home near Gilbert and 2 o'clock from the Gilbert church. The music was furnished by ten little girls. The pall bearers were Clias Warren Jr., Alonies Uthe, Emil Peterson and Galen Wold, and the little flower girls were Evelyn Shepard, Elsie Shepard, Louise Munson and Nadine Perry. The interment took place in the Gilbert cemetery.
