Obituary: Sherwood News-Sheet, March 19, 1915 Eva Fletcher
Beautiful toiler thy work all done,
Beautiful soul into glory gone,
Beautiful life with its crown now won,
God giveth the rest.
Eva Beth Fletcher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Fletcher, born November 10, 1902, died March the 13, 1915, at Sherwood, Oregon, aged 12 years, 4 months, and 3 days.
Again it becomes our painful duty to chronicle the work of the silent messenger who enters our homes selecting our dearest and best loved and bearing them beyond that mystic veil which weeping eyes vainly seek to pierce and our thoughts vainly seek an entrance. As the beautiful morn was breaking on Saturday the sweet spirit took its flight to participate in the glorious morn of her Heavenly home.
Of a lovable and gentle disposition Eva became endeared to many hearts outside her own home. In school and Sunday school she was loved alike by teacher and pupil. Taken in her youth, in her purity, at an age when all in life is in rainbow tints, when roses bloom without a thorn and everything looks brightest and fairest, God saw fit to call her from Earth and loved ones to Paradise.
Her suffering borne with patience, gave evidence of her Christian faith and submission to the Divine will. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Congregational Church. Rev Cowman conducted the services. The text was: "to whom Shall we go?" John 6:68. The flowers were many and beautiful. Expressions of sympathy and affection were not lacking to comfort the agonized hearts in their last sad rites of burial and as the day was nearing its close, they laid her to her long rest in the Pleasant Hill cemetery.
Undertaker M. E. Buck had charge of the interment.
The bereaved ones have the sympathy of the entire News-Sheet family. |
