Obituary:
Death entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Wallen on the morning of Oct 8th, at 2 o'clcok and 20 minutes and bearing away on his chariot wheels to the silent bomb, their darling little daughter Juniata, age 2 years and 1 day. She was so sweet, yes, grey in beauty, and as fair as the blossoms that paved her a pathway. And oh, how said, it did seem to her dear father and mother, grandparents and a host of other loving relatives and friends that a blossom so young and sweet should die. Oh! Death, thou unsparing, foe breaker of earths sweats ties, surely though art greater than all other conquers, for thou, has kept all thou has won save Jesus Christ, and He escaped by omnipotent power. While the little jewel is so greatly missed by loved ones. What a comfort in the one promise, Jesus has said, "Suffer little children to come unto me." Then our sorrow is only her eternal gain in joy and happiness. To the bereaved parents we should point you to the man of sorrow, a she weeps over the grave of Lazarus and may you like Mary sit low down at Jesus feet and drink in his words of love and kindness and at last enjoy the glory of that immoral life upon which little Juanita has already entered. Answered Death's Summons:

Wife of Well Known Attorney Passes Away After a Long Illness: Mrs. Minnie M. Kemp, wife of D. H. Kemp, died Sunday morning, Oct 16, at 4 o'clock a. m., following an illness of several years at the age of 32 years. The funeral was held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the family residence on Frisco Avenue, conducted by Rev. W. R. Dodd. Interment was made in the Odd Fellows Cemetery. The death of Mrs. Kemp removed from our midst a most devoted wife, mother and friend and during her long illness who was always happy and hopeful. She was not only a member of the church but was a logical consistent Christian. She knew God as her Father and Jesus as her personal friend and Savior. During her long illness she had solved much of the mysteries concerning the Bible and the faith founded upon the teachings. To a friend with whom she was conversing about the mystery of life and death and physical pain and suffering she said "I have thought it all through. I now know what it means where we are told 'whom the Lord loveth he chastiseth' and all things work together for good to those who love the Lord." She wanted to live for the sake of her devoted boy and husband, but was ready to go to be with her heavenly Father if it was his will. In the truest sense her apparent defeat with her fierce battle with death was a most complete victory. Monett Star. |
