Obituary
Russell Robert Kelly, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. E.E. Kelly,
was born Dec. 8, 1914, and departed this life may 28, 1915, aged
five months and twenty days. Funeral services were held at the
home, conducted by Rev. Grafton, assisted by Rev. J.S. Moore. Mr.
Grafton preached to a large concourse of neighbors and friends
from the text: "And a little child shall lead them,"
and the little form was laid to rest in the Wadena cemetery.
Weep not, fond ones, weep not, I pray.
Dear little Russel Robert has gone to the land of eternal day.
He has gone from a world of sorrow and care,
Gone to dwell with his Savior there.
In that beautiful city beyond death's sea
He is waiting and beckoning for you and me.
Then why, fond ones, Oh, why should we weep,
The angels are guarding his sleep.
They will their watch ever keep,
Then why, Oh, why should we weep.
