Bless.-A little son of Charles and Katie Bless died April 12, 1913, of consumption. Since a little infant he was a sickly, tender plant and about a month ago took pneumonia, which left the little one very weak and it lingered since. It was so weak and bony that the nurse could scarcely carry him and care for him. The little jewel finished his mission at the age of __ y. 11 m. 22 d. He leaves sorrowing parents and grandparents on both sides, nevertheless they are comforted that the child has gone to a supremely better clime. Funeral services held at Good's Mennonite Church conducted by Bros. S. E. Garber, John Landis, and Levi Ebersole from Luke 18:16, 17. Interment in cemetery nearby.
"Go to thy rest, fair child,
Go to thy dreamless bed;
Before thy feet have ever trod,
The dark and downward way."
