Helton of Bladen, Nebraska; and a host of friends.
The words of Fredrik L. Hosmer in his poem are a comfort in this hour:
Father, to Thee we look in all our sorrow,
Thou art the fountain whence our healing flows;
Dark through the night, Joy cometh with the morrow;
Safely they rest who in Thy love repose.
The funeral services were held at the Zulauf Funeral Home in Superior, Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. Clarence V. Powell, pastor of the Nelson Methodist church was in charge of the services and he was assisted by Mrs. Powell.
Grave-side services were held at the Lawrence cemetery, where it was her request to be laid to rest beside her father.
