Died
At the home of H.D. Kissel, on Illinois creek, Alice Bethel and Grace Ethel, twin children of Nettie and George R. Glover. These children were 10 months old on the 20th of November, 1904.
The parents of these children had been on a visit from their home in Fullerton, Neb., to the home of Mrs. Glover's parents in Jackson county, near Soldier City, Kans., where they had been six weeks. They were returning to their home in Nebraska, when on the evening of the 27th, being but one day on their journey, the children were taken sick.
Mr. and Mrs. Kissel kindly took the strangers into their home and ministered to their wants as best they could. At 12 o'clock that same night Grace Ethel died. Alice Bethel lived until 9 o'clock Tuesday morning, the 29th.
The funeral of these two sweet children was held from the home of H.D. and Sarah Kissel on Tuesday evening, Nov. 29. These good people did what they could for the strangers in their affliction and bereavement, and the neighbors all were very kind and helpful.
The two little caskets with their white robed innocence were carried to the grave by eight young girls, who laid the sweet babies side by side in a little grave by the evergreen trees in the Root cemetery. And the stars looked down, and the moon, to keep vigil over the silent dust of those whom Christ said: "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the Kingdom of God.
