Keith Orin Mahler.

Keith Orin Mahler was born March 4 1911, and died January 27, 1912, aged 10 months and 23 days.

The morning of his birth ushered into this world a life which, though brief, filled the home with joy and won the hearts of those who came to know him in the purity and innocence of childhood. And after all was this not a great life mission to cheer and make some hearts glad.

The January morning though it came cold and gray to the watchers near the bedside, dawned warm and bright with God and angels presence to the little departing soul.

Those of the immediate family left to mourn the loss of this dear one are a father, mother, and brother besides sympathizing relatives and friends.

And while we feel for the family in bereavement we feel that their loss is his gain in lasting eternal live ere his soul know a burden, care or sin and we may well say, “Of such is the King of Heaven.”

The funeral services were held at the family home Monday January the 29th conducted by the Rev. Father Ryan of Farmington. Interment was made in the Bonaparte cemetery.
