Harris and Son for their kind and efficient services during the sickness and death of our daughter, sister and granddaughter, Martha Ann. Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Van Winkle and daughter Sue, Mr. and Mrs. Ross Van Winkle, Mrs. Jennie Davidson. Dear little Ann has gone to rest, Where never a sin shall stain her breast, No trouble disturb her no fear annoy, No cloud overshadow her innocent joy. She has gone home to heaven that land of love, Of light and gladness and blessing above. Her head is pillowed on Jesus' breast, Dear little Ann she is sweetly at rest. She lived on earth but a little while, She died before she had been defiled. But she is our daughter and is so still, Sweet Ann we called her and always will, We think we are glad she has gone away, Where her life will be all one pleasant day -- Where an unkind word she will ne'er receive, Nor speak one herself our kind hearts to grieve. If she were here she would often cry, Then she would be sick, suffer and die; And now death is over and all the while, Her cherub face may wear a smile, For she will never know or do a wrong, And the loving angels will teach her their song. Dear Ann we wish we could be there too, Oh when shall we come and live with you. ********************* MARRIAGE LICENSES (April 16, 1946) Ralph S.
