Obituary.
Death has again visited our
community and claimed for its own,
Marlette Vedder (Crounse. He
died of conjestion.
. Marlette was born in Parker
county Sept., 5 1890, and departed
this life May 30, 1908, age 17 years
8 months and 25 days.
He leaves a mother, two sisters
and one brother to mourn his loss.
To the grief stricken family and
friends we can only say, weep not,
as those without hope, for in a
brighter world, a world without
sighing and without tears, he
stands with beckoning hands call-
ing to you to come up higher. A
few years more and you may again
clasp hands across the river of
death and be re-united forever.
The mystery of life and death we
do not comprehend, the tragedy of
human existance is beyond the un-
derstanding of man, but we know
that Jesus of Nazareth who went
down to the vale of death came
forth victorious, and that his edr
is ever open to the cry of the
broken hearted. In this hour of
sorrow and bereavement commune
4
with him who alone can speak con-
solation to the troubled soul, and
who is full of tender compassion
and mercy.
A devoted son, affectionate
brother and ^uthful friend has been
called away; nevertheless let us
bow our heads in humble submis-
sion to the will of the Father who
“doeth all things well’' and may
the memory of his example be
an encouragement for us all in
leading us to brighter fields above,
where all is peace and love, and
pain and sorrow comes no more.
A Schoolmate.
