MISS JULIA BUCKLES

On March 26, 1907, there passed from earth Miss Julia Buckles, the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Buckles. Julia was born near Troy, Iowa, October 9, 1890, her age at death being 16 years, 5 months and 17 days. She has lived for several years near and in Leando. She leaves her father, mother, three brothers and one sister besides a large circle of other relatives and friends. Julia was of a cheerful disposition and none knew her but to love her. She will be greatly missed in school and Sunday school where she has been so faithful, but no place so much as in her own home where she was a kind loving sister and ever faithful daughter. How true to her friends was the one who now sleeps, but she has gone to that better land of endless life, where all is rest, peace and love. She was laid to rest in the Leando cemetery. Her schoolmates bore her lifeless form to its last resting place. We can all say "Gone, but not forgotten"
