Mary Phelma Herbert, infant daughter of J. R. and Mary E. Herbert, was born September 26th, 1924, and died March 16th, 1926, aged 1 year, 5 months and 20 days. This little girl, dear to her parents and those who waited upon her during her short life, was afflicted all her life, and died with what the doctors pronounced spinal meningitis. She had all the home care that one could have and through advice of the doctor was taken to the hospital at Eugene, Oregon, where she died soon after. The parents decided to have the remains taken to the neighborhood of the mother’s former home, some one hundred miles away, so the funeral was appointed to be held at the Hillside church house, March 18th,where a short service was held, the writer officiating, and many of the old neighbors came laden with flowers, attesting their respect for the bereaved ones and the little one that had passed away, after which the body was consigned to its last resting place, there to await the summons of him who said, Suffer little children to come unto me, for such is the kingdom of heaven. The father of this mother who has lost her babe is Elder J. N. Beaman, who was ordained to the full functions of the gospel ministry at our Association last August, but through some carelessness on the part of the presbytery it was never recorded in any of our Baptist papers as is our custom, therefore I make this addition to the notice I send you. Sister Mary E. Herbert is also a member of our church here. May the parents of this little one be resigned to the will of the Lord, who gives and takes, and say, “Thy will be done.”
