Oswego Times August 10,1917
The mortral remains of our youngest daughter ,Florence,were laid to rest in 
Rose City Cemetary Monday Afternoon.
To our readers this may not cause a second thought,because every paper we read 
has just the same announcement of the passing of one.
But to us,it was our little girl.We forget the years which have passed ; we 
see the little blue eyed,golden haired to who used to sit upon our 
knee,placing her little arms around our neck ,tell us her troubles,bribe us 
with kissesand endearments to secure some coveted object-who went ill,sent for 
daddy,who came,took her in his arms,held her hands in his,stilling the 
nervous,painfull demonstrations until the little one fell asleep to wake later 
refreshed and well.We forget the intervening years,forget that she was a 
mother,that she leaves two little ones,five and three years of age,forget all 
but that she was our little girl.It makes one feel rebellious;to think the 
Good Heavenly Father has turned agaiinst us,that he does not care.We wonder 
why he could not have left the good little mother to care for her babies and 
taken a wornout,worhtless hulk like us,who has served his time instead.But we 
may not know what is ahead,we cannot measure the mind of the infinite,who sees 
the end from the beginning,and all that we may do is submit.
So we can but say good-bye,little girl,wait for daddy,and to the end of our 
days there will be that hungry,acheing,longing for our little one who is gone.
