The cause of death was pneumonia. As the writer gazed on little Thelma, as she lay cold and lifeless with the sweet smile of Heaven on her baby face, the words of the Master came forcibly to her mind: "Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven" Truly the hand of affliction falls heavily upon the bereaved parents and they have the heartfelt sympathy of all. The funeral services were held Monday, Jan. 3 at 10:00 am at the M.E. Church, the Rev. C.C. Swartz officiating. A very impressive funeral sermon was preached from the 4th Chapter and 16th verse of Hebrews after which the remains were interred in the Exeter cemetery. The house is deserted and silent, the clock seeming softly to say, 'how cheerless it is and how lonely, for our darling is taken away'.
