| 7460 |  | Obituary- Lynde, Minnie Obituary. The Angel of Death hath again entered our home and taken from our midst a dear one, to dwell in that land where sorrow and parting are not known. Minnie Elva Lynde, youngest child of B.C. Lynde, was born near Ontario, Jackson county, Kas., September 24, 1892. At the age of ten years, she moved with her father, to St. Marys and the following year, to the farm 5 miles east of town, which has since been her home. A little more than a year ago her health began to fail and since that time, all that loving hands could do was done to restore her to health, but all in vain. God relieved her suffering and called her to her Heavenly home May 15, 1912. Her mother having been called away when Minnie was but a babe of but three years old, her rearing was entrusted to the care of her father. She leaves a father, four sisters and brothers; Mrs. A.H. Dibbern near Emmett, A.F. Lynde Goffs, Mrs. M.W. Richardson Marlow Okla., Mrs. J.W. Tatterfield Wakarusa, Mrs. C.H. Parrett Oskaloosa and A.E. Lynde Rossville, and many other relatives and friends to mourn their loss. Two sisters and one brother having preceded her to the home above. The funeral services were held at the home on the morning of May 17th at 8 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Geo. A. Chatfield, Rossville, and the remains taken to Ontario for interment by the side of her mother. The services at the grave were conducted by the Methodist minister, and the pall bearers were girl friends from around Ontario. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of the whole community. Her face though fair as a lily, In slumber now shall rest, And her Soul with God above us In Heaven shall be blest. With the Angels 'round the gateway, She will with Jesus stand, Until one by one we join them In that fair and Heavenly land. [From May 1912] | |
