April ll, l90l

Died, of catarrhal fever, WILLIE RAYMOND, son of MR. and MRS. L.H.

SHOEMAKER, who was born April 2, l900, and died March 27, l90l.

The funeral services were conducted at the M.E. Church last Thursday,

Rev. Rush officiating. Interment occurred in the Davis City Cemetery.

The many friends of MR. and MRS. SHOEMAKER deeply sympathize with them

in their sad loss, for little WILLIE was an uncommonly bright boy for

one so young.

With the many floral offerings so freely scattered on the casket was

many a tear that a spirit so bright should be called so soon to wing its

flight to the realms of eternal bliss. As he lay on his snowy couch, an

emblem of purity, how blessed to know little WILLIE's suffering is o'er,

and he is safely housed with our dear Savior ever more to dwell in the

realms of eternal bliss.
