“At Rest

Tuesday evening at 9 o’clock the spirit of little Nadine Frances Mary Ware, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas A. [saph] Ware [Myra Reeves], passed peacefully to the realm of perfect day.

Hovering between life and death for several days, nature at last yielded the conflict to the grim destroyer, and the idol, care, sunshine, and pet of the household had given back the spirit to its Maker.

While the little soul returns to God who gave it, unscathed, and unspotted by its short conflict in this sinful world, it leaves behind without detaching from its own brightness, a path of light that will ever serve as a guide to those with whom it came in touch.

The little girl was born July 16th, 1915, and died Tuesday evening, January 11th, 1916, aged 5 months and 25 days.

She was taken ill Sunday, January 2d, with acute kidney trouble and in spite of every thing that could be done grew gradually worse until the end.

The parents have the sympathy of all in the loss of their only child, as well as the grandfather, Floyd J. Ware, to whom the little one had become greatly endeared and to whom her death was a sad blow.

The funeral services were held at the Methodist Episcopal church this afternoon, conducted by Rev. William Mercer and interment took place in Rose Hill cemetery.”
