EARL LOWE PASSES AWAY

Sunday, a few minutes after twelve o'clock, Earl Lowe, who has been a patient sufferer from tuberculosis for more than five years, passed quietly into the great beyond. For days past, his death was expected hourly, yet the slender thread that bound him to this world was not broken, the spark of life continued to burn and the little body suffered intensly. The end came quietly, and his spirit winged its way back to its Creator, where all is peace and rest.

Earl was a patient little sufferer. He was loved by all who knew him. His gentle, lovable disposition won him friends wherever he went. Much of his short life was passed in suffering, yet he bore it bravely. His love of home and his interest in the affairs of home was most marked. While all grieve for him, yet we all feel that he is safe from suffering and the Glory World is now his eternal home. The gates of heaven open wide to such as he. His little life has been lived, his work on earth was done early, and he has gone on before. He has escaped many of the heart aches and the suffering of a longer life, and his reward is now certain.

The funeral service was held in the Christian church Monday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by Rev. Kenton of the Free Methodist church assisted by Rev. I.E. Wade of the Christian church. The body was laid to rest in the Gravity cemetery.

Earl S. Lowe, son of S.T. and Mary Lowe, was born in Wayne county, Iowa, October 24, 1897, and died at his home in Gravity, January 11, 1914. He was converted one month before his death, and passed away in the full confidence of the saving power of Jesus Christ. His father and five sisters have preceded him to the better world, and he leaves behind, his mother, one brother and a sister, besides a host of friends to mourn his departure.
