Death of Little One.

Florence Fredonia, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Ware was born at Bonaparte, Iowa, Sept. 14, 1906 and died July 20, 1907, at the home of her grandparents near Boyd, Oklahoma at the age of 10 months and 5 days. She spent her short life at her home up until May 7, when she went to her grandparents with her mother and brother on a visit. She was bright and smiling until Wednesday July 17 when she became suddenly ill with cholera infantum. Every thing was done with willing hands to save the fast fading life, but God knew best and her took her from us to join the merry band of angles.

On account of the long distance her father was unable to receive word in time to arrive for the funeral which was held at her grandparents home, at one o'clock, Sunday, July 21, conducted by G.W. Scholotteback.

The words which he spoke were taken from the 18th chapter of St. Mathew. After which she was laid to rest in the Bethany cemetery.
