PARADOX, FLORENCE, FREMONT COUNTY, COLORADO - DECEMBER 21 1916
DIED
Vonda Marie, the little four and a half year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Angel, left them on Monday crossing the great divide. The little one was stricken with rheumatism several weeks ago and although everything that medical skill could do was done for the sufferer, it seemed of no avail. For the last three weeks the case was serious and the anxious parents watched day and night by the bedside of their loved one, ministering to her wants and hoping against hope that she might be spared to brighten their home as she had done for a few brief years.
But it was not to be, for He who said: "Suffer little children to come unto Me" was ready to receive her and called her into His Kingdom.
She was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Angel, a grand-daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Byron Richards and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Angel, of Rockvale, and a great-grand-daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Roxbury and Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Richards, of Florence. She was also a favorite with everyone who knew her on account of her sweet, loving disposition.
The A.G.C. Girls, of which club Mrs. Angel was a member, had full charge of the funeral arrangements. A committee went to the cemetery and prepared the grave, lining it with spotless white cotton. Another committee decorated the church and the rest of the girls acted as ushers.
Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, shrouded in robes immaculate, asleep beneath a wilderness of flowers that fain would have kissed her eyelids to awakening, they took the little body to the M. E. church, where Rev. Silkwood held funeral services. Miss Mary Price, in a most impressive manner sang, "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam," "I Am His Little Lam," and "Sometime, Somewhere." Then the sorrowful relatives wended their way to Highland cemetery where interment was made.
