Mary Roberta Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Wilson, was born Jan. 31, 1918 at Wolf Point, Montana, and departed this life Feb. 19, 1920, at the Methodist hospital at Des Moines, aged 2 years and 19 days. The remains were brought to this place Friday and were laid to rest in Oakwood cemetery, the funeral service being conducted by Rev. H.I. Pharo.
Little Mary was very ill for over two months and all that medical skill could do was of no avail. She was an only child and was the light and joy of the home. The grief-stricken parents have the heartfelt sympathy of their many friends in their hour of sorrow.

There's another jewel in the Master's crown
There's another burden forever laid down
There's another angel in heaven above
Where all is peace and joy and love.

She has gone from earth whom we loved so well,
How we will miss her none can tell.

She stands at the gate of heaven today
To the loved on earth we hear her say,
Grieve not for me I am happy here
With the angels bright and my Savior near

A little while and you'll be with me,
Happy forever from earth's ties free.
