Arlington Times, July 5, 1917
Laura Viola Hollis
Laura Viola, elder daughter of Frank R. and Catherine Hollis, was born August 12, 1906 at Boston, Mass. She came with her parents to Arlington, Wash., September 23, 1907; where she has since resided, with the exception of nine months, which the family spent in Stanwood the past year. She passed to the "Great Beyond" July 2, 1917 at the age of 10 years, 10 months and 20 days.
Laura was of a bright, cheery disposition and her sweet and loving ways endeared her to all who knew her. She will be greatly missed by her parents, little sister, her girl friends, of whom she had many, and the M. E. Sunday school, of which organization she has been a member since she was old enough to attend.
It seemed that Laura was too sweet and bright to remain in this world. At the close of school she was promoted to the Eight grade, although less than 11 years of age.
At the M. E. Children's Day exercises, June 17, she sang with other members of her class and recited the following poem, "How Shall I Choose a Blossom," in a distinct and pleasing tone, she herself looking like the rarest of blossoms:
"How shall I choose a blossom, The fairest and most sweet, To lay, this happy Children's Day, Before the Master's feet!
"Oh! Shall it be the blue bell, Swung by the summer breeze! The violet, that in the brook, Its gentle image sees!
The rose, that drank the dewdrops of Sharon's valley still! Or the lily tall which Jesus loved, On the Judean hill!
"Oh! These, indeed are beautiful- The father made them so; Yet not in wood or meadow green, His dearest flowers grow.
"The budding life of childhood, That greets with opening grace, And perfume sweet of love and praise, The sunshine of His face.
"The glad young soul's uprising, Fed by the dews divine; The fearless trust that clasps Him Close, Like the tendrils of a vine.
"These are the gifts most precious, That hand or heart can pay: Dear Lord, unto Thine alter pure, I bring myself today."
The funeral was held Wednesday, July 4, at 2:00 p.m. at the M. E. Church by the pastor, G. C. Squire, who took for his text these words, found in Psalm 73, "Only Thee; I care nothing for Heaven or Earth." His words were comforting to the bereft ones, the thought of his sermon being that the supreme love for Christ conserves all other affections and relationships, social and spiritual - for this world and the world to come.
Despite the fact that it was a national holiday, the church was filled with friends who came to pay their last respects to one whom they had loved so well. The space around the casket was banked with beautiful floral tributes.
The pall bearers were six of her most intimate girl friends - Evelyn Benedict, Lulu Baker, Dorothy Hay, Ione Larry, Eunice Osbourne and Beatrice Chausse. Mr. Jacobson and Mrs. Baker san the well-known hymns, "Asleep in Jesus," "My Heavenly Father Knows," and "God will take Care of You," At the close of the services she was taken to Harwood cemetery, where all that was mortal of dear little Laura was laid to rest.
