BADERS — Owing to the death of our little nephew, Vernon VanHorn, of Ipava, we were unable to distribute our notes last week. Vernon was the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. I. M. VanHorn, was born July 10, 1897; died March 11, 1900. For nine long weeks he suffered with lung and stomach trouble. He was a most patient darling and braved his sickness to the last. Our baby has left us; left a vacancy in the home that can never be filled. Vernon was such a happy child, so loving and beaming with a child’s sweetness, which none other can compare. Whenever death comes so near to us we see life in a different light, thru other eyes. We go back, after our loved one is laid awry, to the everyday life — to the duties which formerly devolved upon us, but we find things changed. Love changes us, death alters our minds; in fact every event in our lives has an influence, softening perhaps, in its tendencies. But altho’ it is hard to part with our loved ones in death, it is for us to murmur, “Thy will be done.” — Ida Trimmer
