LEAD BELT NEWS, Flat River, St. Francois County, Missouri, Friday, February 10, 1939 DORIS JUNE FREEMAN Doris June Freeman, youngest child and only daughter of Wm. J. and Zelpha McGuire Freeman, was born in Flat River, Mo., July 2, 1926 and passed away at her home there Monday night, Feb. 6, 1939 at the age of 12 years, 7 months and 4 days, following an illness of several days. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the Flat River First Christian Church by Rev. L. W. Weston, pastor. Pallbearers were chosen to include cousins of the deceased, and flower girls, who bore the many beautiful blossoms proffered by sorrowing friends and loved ones, were friends and playmates of Doris June. Interment was in Woodlawn cemetery under the direction of Caldwell Bros. Service. Doris June was possessed of a rare charm and a lovable personality and was an inspiration to all with whom she came in contact. Her thoughts were ever of others, and it was she who gave more of joy to those about her than it was possible for her to have received. She was the Sunshine of her own home and of the homes linked to hers by the ties of friendship and of love. Since babyhood she had been endowed with an astounding knowledge of God and His infinite mercy and wisdom; and it is with sweet consolation that we realize that she is now a happy part of the Sweet Beyond. She was a talented child, being advanced beyond her tender years in her studies and was possessed of a remarkable musical ability and appreciation, which talent made more happy her short stay upon this earth. Friends had she, old and young, who with her own loved ones shall keep forever sweet memories of little life [sic], her smile and her love. Doris June is survived by her parents and a brother, Meredith, other relatives and many friends. We extend our sincerest sympathy to the bereaved.
