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. |
