MARY EDNA KEEP
Mary Edna Keep was born at Cotesfield, Nebraska, on October 1st, 1912 and after a brief illness fell asleep in Jesus at her home in Littleton, Colorado, May 3rd, 1925, aged 12 years, seven months and three days.
When three years of age she moved with her parents to Colorado, in which state they lived until last winter, when with the family, she spent four pleasant months visiting relatives and friends in the Lamartine neighborhood.
Mary Edna leaves to mourn her loss, her father and mother, her brother and sister, her grand-parents (Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Keep of Scotia and Mr. and Mrs. A. D. King of Ft. Morgan, Colorado), her great grandmother (Mrs. Sarah Woodruff, of Belle Plain, Iowa), several uncles, aunts, cousins and a host of loving friends.
The golden gates were opened,
And heavenly angels smiled,
And with their tuneful harp strings,
Welcomed the little child.
They shouted high and holy,
A child hath entered in,
And safe from all temptation,
A soul is sealed from sin.
They lead her through the golden streets,
On to the king of kings,
And a glory fell upon her,
From the rustling of their wings.
The Savior smiled upon her,
As none on earth had smiled,
And Heaven's great glory shone around
Our dear departed child.
On earth they missed the dear one,
They sighed and wept and sighed,
And wondered if another such,
As theirs had ever died.
Oh had they seen through those high gates,
The welcome to her given,
They never would have wished their child,
Back from her home in Heaven.
On arrival from Colorado, the body was taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Voorhees, uncle and aunt of the deceased, where it remained until the day of the funeral, Thursday, May 7th, 1925.
At 1:00 p.m. a brief service was held in the home, after which, the funeral cortege proceeded to the Scotia Methodist Church where the services were continued under the direction of the Pastor. Rev. Jesse A. Monkman, assisted by Rev. S. M. Dillow, Pastor of the Salem Evangelical Church of Fish Creek. A very large assemblage of sympathizing relatives and friends found their way to the house of God on this occasion. A mixed quartette from Lamartine sang two favorite hymns, and Mrs. Belle Parker of Cotesfields, a near friend of the bereaved family, sang the solo, "Death Is Only A Dream". Six younger girls acted as escort throughout the ceremonies.
CARD OF THANKS
We take this means of expressing our sincere thanks for the many words of sympathy and acts of kindness extended to us during our recent bereavement. Also for the splendid music and the beautiful floral offerings. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Keep and relatives.
