GRIFFITH, ORL
Gone Home
Last Monday little Orl Griffith heard the call of the Savior to come up higher. His short life (4 years, 4 month and 23 days) had been full of suffering. His patience and fortitude was uncommon for one so young. By his childlike love and patient enduring he twined himself about the hearts of the dear ones who ministered with him in his suffering. He was a much loved child. His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Griffith, were wrapped up in their boy. But the Savior loved him too and would take better care of him than they could so He took him to Himself.
It is hard to part with dear ones but ours is to patiently submit and to say "Not my will, but Thine be done." One of the lights of that home has been removed to the home above where it is as a beacon light to those who are left behind and where it shall shine more and more to the perfect day. May the God of all comfort be in that home and fill the vacancy made in heart and home by the removal of this child.
The funeral services were held Tuesday morning at the home of the parents. Rev. J. K. Miller conducted the service.
The remains were followed by a large concourse of friends and relatives to the Belle Plaine Cemetery, where they were laid to rest, to await that time when Christ shall come and gather his own from the four winds of the earth.
