GRAM' COUNTY HERALD LANCASTER, WISCONSIN, JUNE 27, 1908 Still another medicine faker in i our midst Read what we said in regard to him a few week ago. Sedulously speculating sparkling sophistications again next week we solemnly and solicitously succumb. “VIM.” LIVINGSTON. Special Correspondence to the Herald. We are grieved to announce the death of Lucille Graham, eldest daughter of John and Martha Graham, which occured at 4 ’oclock Monday evening,of diabetes. Lucille was a sweet lovable child, shortly past her 13th birthday, and will be missed by many loving hearts. The happy home circle is broken, God has seen fit to call another lov ed one home and while hearts are crushed with grief, we must submit to the inevitable, believing “He doeth all things well.” The bereav ed parents, sister and brother and sorrowing relatives and friends have the sympathy of all in their sad loss, and may they find sustain ing grace in Him who has said, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Funeral services were' held in the M. E, Church Wednesday at 9:30 o’clock a. m., Rev. Verran preaching from a text chosen by Lucille “In my Father’s house are many mansions,” also on the words, “Her sun has gone down while it was yet day.” Many beautiful floral gifts from Children’s class, S. S. class, L. F. L. and friends, testified to the love held for Lucille, and so amid flowers and tears we laid her away, to await the resur rection day, and while we will miss her presence with us, she has gone to be with her Savior and to dwell forever more in our Father’s Home. A precious one from us has gone; A voice we loved is still; A place is vacant in our midst, Which never can be filled. God in his wisdom has’t recalled The boon his love has given; And while with grief our hearts are bent, We ll meet again in heaven. Mrs. Chas.
