In Memoriam: Departed Through the Portals of Death

Indianapolis, 1912

IN MEMORIAM.

In MEMORIAM — In loving remembrance, Feb. 4, 1912: Another year of sweet remembrance has with time's rapid flight vanished into the past, yet it seems as but yesterday, that our kind and loving daughter, Margaret Louise Mary, departed from us through the portals of death into her heavenly home. Although by her faith and trust in her Savior we are assured of her heavenly bliss, nevertheless the recalling and memory of our sweet and Christian life, affords us consolation and comfort, ever encouraging us to walk the path which will in time also bring us into the presence of our heavenly Father, there reunited with her and without separation, to enjoy the bliss of the promised heavenly life. The parents, NICHOLAS POEHLER AND KATHERINE POEHLER.

IN MEMORIAM — In loving remembrance of our son and brother, George W. Armstrong, who departed this life Feb. 4, 1907:
Oh, what could heal the grief we feel,
For hopes that come no more;
Had we ne'er heard the Scripture word,
Weep not for me, my loved ones dear,
I am not dead, but sleeping here;
As I am now you all shall be,
So be prepared to follow me;
Short was my life, long is my rest.
To take me home God thought it best.
From MAMA, PAPA, SISTER AND BROTHER.

IN MEMORIAM — In loving remembrance of Marion Kyle Owen, who passed away two years ago today:
We never miss the sunshine
Until the shadows fall;
We never miss our loved ones
'Till gone beyond recall.
God came that day to still his pain
And take our darling home again.
FROM MAMA, PAPA, SISTERS, BROTHERS AND GRANDPARENTS.

IN MEMORIAM — In loving remembrance of MRS. FANNIE DIRK, who died Feb. 4, 1908. From HUSBAND AND CHILDREN.
