Obituary of James Robert Paskins [Paskin]

James Robert Paskins [Paskin] was born in Boone township, Wright county, Iowa, Nov. 5, 1925, and died at the home of his parents in Boone, township Feb. 26, 1927. This is the record of a beautiful happy child, full of life, and vigor and whose sunny disposition brought joy to parents, relatives and friends. With his abounding health he gave promise of a long and happy life, but this was not to be and the angel came and took him home. He leaves to mourn his early death besides his parents, his Grandfather Paskins [Paskin], his Grandfather and Grandmother Lucas, two uncles, five aunts and numerous other relatives and many friends.

Funeral services were held in the M. E. church of Goldfield conducted by Rev. J. S. Nicholson, assisted by Rev. A. E. Buriff. Burial was in Glenwood cemetery.

OUR LITTLE ONE

We shall watch no more for our bud to bloom
In these fields of earthly light;
But above there’s a flower, so rich and rare
That the angles paused and gazed at it there,
And questioned, "From earth so bright?"

Then the Father speaks, “There are sorrowing hearts
That are bleeding and broken below,
But my Angel of Peace I have sent unto them
With my promise of love that shall comfort them,
Too great is their burden of woe."

And the Angel of Peace came down to our home
And he folded his white wings there,
For softly he told us the Father’s love
Would restore us one day our beautiful Dove;
And he gave us the key to those gardens above
And the key was submission with prayer.
