DEATH OF IVEN MEDLOCK
Asleep in Jesus—Our dear little Iven Medlock, who died at his home near Yukon age 5 years and a few months.
Our little darling took sick with measles, drifting into a serious case of pneumonia. He suffered more than his little body could stand. He went to Jesus, only a bud, to bloom a sweet flower in Heaven, where there will be no more suffering, pain or death, with sweet words to his parents and grandparents, that he had had the old measles and now had to go.
Poor little darling has gone home to die no more and we feel that our dear Iven went home to Jesus. The home is vacant and dear little playmates miss him very sadly. Our hearts are aching, for we will never see our little darling on earth anymore, but we know we can go to him some day to part no more.
Funeral services were held at Big Creek cemetery, where we paid our last tribute to our dear little Iven; where we said our last goodbyes to the precious, loving jewel.
Sadly now the bells are ringing, echoes answer from the hills, but we cannot wake the sleeper, who has passed beyond life's ills. We are in sympathy with the parents and other
loved ones since our dear little Iven has gone away, but hope to meet in the land of endless day.
Kiss the lips now cold and silent, no more will they speak our name, but we know for us they're calling— Iven's love is still the same. Place a wreath upon Iris bosom, as a token of our love, seal a vow that we will meet him in our Father's home above. He is sleeping, sweetly sleeping, nevermore to wake or weep. Jesus called him, gently called him, and he softly fell asleep,
Thou art gone, our precious darling, from this world of pain and care, to a home where all is glory. Oh, so much we daily miss thee; nothing can fill the sad vacancy. Thou art gone to be with Jesus, in the happy home above, where ransomed
ones are sinking praises to the King of Love.
A FRIEND.
