Obituary
Alta Stewart died at the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Horace Frost, April 18, aged 22 years. All that medical skill and the care of loving relatives and friends could do could not stay the hand of death. Thus another one has been called from our midst, whose sweet face and kindly disposition will be greatly missed by her many relatives and friends. After a weary illness the Angel of Death came so near her drooping figure that her spirit was set free to enter that city of rest. In our deep sorrow we cannot understand why her life, that was so lovely, was taken from us. Gods love was stronger than ours and she went to Him and her dear mother gone before. Her memory will ever be with us and the lives of her sisters and brother, grandparents, and other relatives and friends will be better for the short life she lived with them. They wish with hearts full of thanks to take this way of expressing it for the many kind acts of friends and neighbors and the many floral offerings sent, which were silent emblems of love.
