Pauline Louise Paine
22 July 1913 ---- 1 March 1920

July 22nd, 1913, God gave into the care of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Paine, a little daughter, Pauline. In this home she shared with her brothers and sisters the loving ministry of her father and mother. Naturally a loving child, as her life threads
lengthened into the days she manifested a most happy and cheerful disposition.

As the time drew near for her to enter upon her school life, her parents took her to Glenwood, Iowa, in August 1919, in order that she might have the advantage of the special training afforded in that school. She quickly found a place in the life of the other children in the school and was happy and contented.

On February 21st, she was taken sick with Influenza, but was not dangerously ill until complications set in which resulted in her death, March 1st, 1920. Thus the God who gave her to this home called her to Himself again, after a brief sojourne of a little less than seven years. Long enough did she remain to endear herself to those whose ministry she received. Long enough to receive that devoted ministry, that parents alone can give. The threads of her life were not long. Yet in the wisdom of Him who knoweth all things, they were of full length. There is sorrow in the home, because of the passing of her tender life, yet this sorrow is not without hope. Christian faith is not broken by trials, It is strengthened thereby.

Besides her devoted father, and mother, Pauline leaves two brothers, Lynn and Donald, and two sisters, Leone and Ellen, in the home to mourne her going. To these may be added a large number of relatives and friends who lend their sympathy in this hour of sorrow.

Funeral services were conducted from the home Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock after which the little body was laid to rest in Rose Hill cemetery, Eagle Grove, Iowa.
