OBITUARY

ARBA DALE FOLAND

 

Arba Dale, the little son of Harry and Mary FOLAND, was born Jan. 15, 1916 and departed from this life at Rochester, Minn., May 5th, 1918, age 2 years. 3 mo. and 20 days.

 

Little Dale has been a constant sufferer for nearly five months, and has borne his suffering with so much patience. He always had a sweet smile and pleasant word for every one near him. All was done for him that skilled physicians and loving hands could do, but to no avail. God saw best to take him to that beautiful home where pain and suffering shall never be.

 

He leaves to mourn his departure a father, mother, little sister Beulah and three grandparents besides a host of other relatives and friends. Funeral services were held at the home Wednesday morning and conducted by Rev. RAYBOURN and the remains laid to rest in the Grand River cemetery, to await the resurrection morning.

 

A voice we loved is stilled;

A place is vacant in our home,

Which never can be filed.

God in His wisdom has recalled

The treasure he had given,

Altho’ his body slumbers here,

His soul is safe in Heaven.
