Dorothy Virginia, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Gish, passed into that better land of peaceful rest on Monday, Sept. 24, 1924, about 9:00 o’clock in the evening, after an illness of only six days, death being caused by cholera infantam.

Little Dorothy was born July 1st, 1921 and has always been a bright and happy little child, dearly loved by all who knew her. Her cheery little smiles and chatter will be missed by those to whom she was so precious. She leaves to mourn her loss, father, mother, and two brothers, Royal and Delbert, besides a host of other relatives.

Funeral services were held at the M. E. church at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. M. S. Satchel. Interment was made in the Farnam cemetery.

The Misses Ruth Carman, Faye Hudson, Thelma Kitchen and Hazel Goesch were the pall bearers. The casket was banked with beautiful flowers.

In Memory of Dorothy Gish

Farewell, dear Dorothy
Thou art gone,
The Savior smiled and
Bid thee come,
Thy small feet took
One small step;
Across the Jordon,
There to be met,
By God above.
Thy chair is vacant
In our house;
And oh what grief
To see,
Thy play things upon
The shelf,
Never more to be of
use to thee.

The Savior loved

Thee most dear child,
Else he’d not called
Thee home;
And leave us to drink
Of sorrows cup,
While happy with
Him you dwell.

We pray the father
Some bright day,
To meet thee in
The skies,
Where God is just
To all he loves,
His love it never dies.

Farewell dear Dorothy.
Thou art gone.
We loved thee;
Oh so well,
But God saw best
To call thee home,
Happy with him to dwell.
