BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, FEB. 8, 1901 OBITUARY. On Jan. 30th, 1901, death visited the home of William and Laura Starr, and took away Esta, their 14 year old daughter. She was only sick a few days, but no tongue can tell how she suffered. She bore her suffering without murmuring or complaining. All that loving hands could do to relieve her suffering was done, but the hand of death came and claimed her. Esta was loved by all who knew her. She was kind in all her associations and endeavored to make all happy. At home she was the joy of the family. We know that the loving smiles and sweet kisses will be missed in the family. She can no more come to you, but dear father, mother, brother and sisters, if you will put your trust in Jesus you can go to her. She was followed to her last resting place by a host of sorrowing friends. The funeral services were conducted by Eld. Wm. Hawkins at the Gilgal church, after which her body was laid to rest in the Gilgal cemetery, to await the final resurrection. Dearest daughter, thou hast left us, Left this early, worldly home, But one thought that still consoles us, To the Giver thou hast gone. Yet, dear Esta, we will miss you, Miss you around our own fireside, And we'll ever use your footsteps, Your example for our guide. NOTE: Esta E. Starr: 8 Sept 1886 – 30 Jan. 1901. Daughter of Wm. M. & Laura. Burial at Gilgal Cemetery, Pleasant Run Twp.
