Mrs.Charles Jay Timson, was born December 19, 1915, and died at

months and four days.

her death. She leaves father, mother and two sisters, Opal Louise
and Helen Elizabeth to mourn her loss. Little Vergil was not only
the life of the home, but also a favorite among all who knew her,
and now that is has seemed pleasing to God to take her from us,
we look at it that Jesus saw this beautiful flower in full bloom
so took it up that it might shine in heaven.

She had been sick for some time with whooping cough, then took
the influenza which settled on the lungs,bringing on pneumonia
which caused her death. She leaves her father, mother, two
brothers and one sister, Walter, Raymond and Fay to mourn her
loss. Although God has seen fit to take her from among us, we
cannot help but thank Him that He left with us a memory of her
which is most sweet.
"A little lily pure and
white,
Blooming on life's earthy sod,
Was seen by Him who is love and might
As he looked from his place of abode.
"The passers by now book and stare
And wonder why the place is dim:
Then, comes a voice from heaven's shore
'Jesus has taken her to be with Him' "
