Springer.-Wilma Joan, only child of Homer and Ada (Stalter) Springer, was born near Gridley, Ill., June 20, 1935; died at the Mennonite Hospital, Bloomington, Ill., July 23, 1936; Wilma suddenly took sick with convulsions Wednesday evening and was ill just 24 hours when she answered the call of Jesus who said, "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not." She is survived by her parents, grandparents (Mr. and Mrs. Valentine Springer, Hopedale and Mr. Henry Stalter, Flanagan), and many other relatives and friends. Her loving smile will be remembered by all who knew her. Funeral services were held at the Waldo Mennonite Church in charge of Bro. J. D. Hartzler, assisted by Bro. D. W. Slagel. Text, Matt. 19 :14.

"Dear little Wilma, too pure to stay,
Our loving Father has called you away,
Out of this world of sorrow and care,
To wait till we join you over there."
