Notes - Death loves a shining mark, and has taken from the home, little Vernon Edward, son of William M. and Mary Hazel Hedges. He was born August 2, 1918 near Brookfield, Mo., and departed this life Nov. 17, 1921 at their home in Purdin, age 3 yrs 3 mo and 15 days. He leaves to mourn his departure his father, mother, grandparents and host of relatives and friends. For everyone loved little Vernon. Our hearts are made sad and our sympathy goes out to the bereaved ones; but dear ones remember though your steps are attended with anguish of spirit; it leads to the throne of God; the giver of life and all we have and are. He, alone, can heal the broken hearts. Time ‘its true, will heal the wound; but God gives us the consolation that if we love hem and keep his commandments, we can go to our loved ones when we are called away. A consolation that Christians have. As David said when his little son died, he cannot come to me but I can go to him. What a beautiful thought I can go to him. Some day, some time, we will if we have lived as God would have us live. Go to dwell with the loved ones in our fathers house where sickness, death and sorrow alike are not known. Thank God today for the hope which fills our souls in the darkest hours and that the cares of time are wreathed in the glory of fadeless flowers. Death who is the last enemy to be destroyed has claimed for its own this dear little one. To God who is the gracious giver, we yield the dear ones up; not dead; but to dwell with Him forever. Take thou our dear one to dwell with thee, through ceaseless ages to come.
A precious one from us has gone. A voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our home, which never can be filled.
Funeral services were conducted by the writer after which the remains were consigned to mother earth in the Purdin cemetery to await the coming of our Lord.
