OBITUARY.
Once more God’s messenger, death, has come in our midst and separated the soul from the body of Allie P. Clark, son of F. P. and L. J. Clark, of Franklin township. He was born March 17, 1896, and departed this life Dec 21, 1897, age 1 year, 9 months, and 4 days.
Darling Allie, with his loving smiles and gentle disposition, will be missed by his many friends and relatives but more so by the family, composed of father, mother, one sister and two brothers. May we all so live that when God calls us we will be ready to meet in that beautiful home beyond the sky.
Darling Allie from us has gone,
His voice we loved is still
His place is vacant at our home,
Which never can be filled.
Father and Mother.
==============================
Card of Thanks.
We desire to thank our neighbors and friends for favors shown during the sickness and death of our son.
F. P. and L. J. Clark.
