Flossie Deakin, youngest daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Deakin who died at her home in Cowles, Nebraska Tuesday May 17, 1898, after an illness of only a few days, was born in Shrewsburg, England, April 1st, 1886. She came to America with her parents when two years of age and has dwelt in Cowles for about four years. Flossie has gone from our midst and her going has left a vacant place not only in the family circle but everywhere in our little village where her presence has made sunshine. Flossie was a leader among her playmates and greatly loved by all. The funeral took place Wednesday from Congregational Church of which her father is pastor. The church was filled to overthrowing with sorrowing neighbors and friends. Who had come to show their love for the little one and sympathy for the parents, brothers and sisters. Kind friends filled the church and covered the casket with flowers. We laid the little body away in the cemetery in a bed of flowers and the little new grave was covered with flowers by the sorrowing schoolmates of little Flossie. We can but sorrow now and yet with the pain still there comes a joy to know that the dear one shall never more know sorrow or pain but all is joy and she shall someday meet her loved ones at the gate.
