Hope against hope was entertained for her recovery but to no avail. The heart broken relatives have the sympathy of all.

OBITUARY

Dorothy Roberta, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Moore, was born near Lebanon, Iowa, September 6, 1918, and passed from this life there Saturday evening, April 6, 1929, at the age of ten years and seven months.

During her illness of ten weeks all that loving hands could do was to no avail, and not even a father’s and mother’s constant care and prayers could keep her. How she will be missed in the Sunday school, in the community and in the school but the loss to the father and mother, no tongue can tell.

She leaves to mourn her loss her devoted father and mother, her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Moore, her uncles and aunts, many relatives and friends.

Lay down thy head upon the Savior___
