In Memory of Bertie Caudell
I
“Denrest Bertie, thou hast left us,
Here, thy loss we deeply feel.
But 'tis God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.”
On the ‘2kth, of Feb. lint, Ber
tie Caudell, was placed on a lied of
affliction from which she never
arose. For three days she suffeied
iutensly. But on March 3rd, the
angel death, came with noiseless
tread and carried away the one we
had learned to love so well.
“Just as the morning of her life
was opening into day,
Her young and lovely spirit passed
From earth and grief away.”
We cannot understand why she
was taken away from us in the
prime of her bright and useful
young womanhood.
In her death we lose one of onr
brightest, best and most capable
fvoung women, who was always
jglad and ready to perform her part
Of any kind of service. Our church
has lost a devoted, loyal member
the community a genial, helpful
neighbor and friend.
But we realize that it is in the
home that she is missed most sadly,
where the grandfather from day to
day returns only to miss the dear
face and listen for the welcome
voice now hushed forever. Noth
ing but the thought of the loving
hand that has removed her can
reconcile us to her absence.
While she has gone from the
scenes, the conflict, the sorrows
Dev and to Giving the News, Encouraging the Progress, and Aiding the Prosperity of BanKs County.
and pleasures of life. She will i
still live in the hearts of those who
knows her best.
During the summer of lAO7 she j
professed religion and was united,
with the Babtist church at liar
mony.
She was a true Christian girl at
home and abroad, and would al
ways meet you with a smile which
would win friends anywhere she
would go.
Now I can go to hfer home, where <
I would often visit her, there I can
see the vacant chair in the corner
where she would usually sit. We
spent many, many happy hours
together and ’tis sad indeed to
know that I shall never see her
again in this world. But—
“We shall meet again sweet Bertie
In a brighter cliue than this,
Where the anguish of this world
of ours
Is lost in deathless bliss-”
“We cannot tell who next may fall
Beneath thy chastening rod.
One mast be first, but let us all
prepare to meet our God.”
