We would drop a tear to the memory of WELDON JOBB. His death has brought the bitter cup of sorrow to the lips of friends and relatives. He was of quiet disposition and loved by all who knew him. WELDON JOBB, the subject of this simple memorial, was born at Westchester Sta., and is the 2nd son of LEWIS and JENNIE JOBB of Westchester Valley. At the time of his death he was in his 18th year. He contracted Spanish Influenza all that medical skill and loving hands could do was done to nurse this young man back to health, but he was not strong God deemed it otherwise and on Oct 4th, 1918, he passed away, leaving to mourn their loss, father, mother, 3 brothers and 3 sisters. To the broken hearted mother, father, brothers & sisters, who site in sorrow where his footsteps shall never again find echo, we extend the sympathy of one who loved him. When they have drained the cup may the peace that passeth all understanding come to them from one who cares for each little sparrow that falls.
