The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Larkin Prestridge, Louise, had been with these proud parents, brothers and sisters since December 16, 1931. Baby Louise had suffered more than two weeks from a spider bite. On Tuesday Mary 24, they brought her to the home of Senator and Mrs. Alvin Moore that she might be near the doctor, but with all the care that the doctors and loving hands could do, the great GTime-Keeper took our little rose and transplatned her among the roses that never wither or die. And since she has gone where she feels no pain, let us not indulge in too much gried. The soul is incapabel of death. And she, like a bird not long enough in her cage to become attached to it, is free to fly away to purer air. For when the young die, their souls go at once to a better and Divine state. Since we cherish a trust like this, let our outward actions be in accord with it, and let us keep our hears pure and our minds calm. The Peraly Gates were opened, A gentle voice said come, And with faarewells unspoken She calmly entered home. (Cheyenne Star June 9, 1932)
