• Notes

  Holst. - Verna Lillian, infant daughter of Eli and Elsie Holst, near New Hamburg, Ont., died Aug. 20, 1932; aged 1 y. 3 m. 27 d., after being ailing for several months. Her life on this earth was short, but we know she has gone where sin and sorrow are unknown. God saw fit to take this dear little one from us for He had need of her over there. "Ere sin could blight, or sorrow fade, Death came with friendly care, This little bud to heaven conveyed And bade it blossom there." Before passing away she smilingly stretched out her little arms as if to go to someone. She leaves her parents and three little sisters. Funeral services were conducted on Aug. 22 at the home by Bro. Osias Cressman and at the Geiger Church by Bro. Moses H. Roth assisted by Bro. Cressman. Text, Job 1: 21. Interment in the adjoining cemetery.
