Feb. 8, 1897 |
Research Note: Obituary: Bessie, daughter of A. W. and S. M. Roberts, died at her home near Washburn, Feb 8, age 1 year, 2 months, and 8 days. Her stay on earth was short but during that time her loving heart so attracted her dear parents, brothers, and sisters that it was a great struggle for them to say goodbye. But He who took little children in His arms and blessed them has taken this little one to Himself - where she can never enter and where her teacher is perfect. The Good Shepherd has carried the little lamb across the river that the parents and loved ones may follow. Her remains were followed to the Horner Church by relatives and friends where her funeral was preached an the body buried in the cemetery. May the family be reunited in heaven. E. W. McCracken. |
