Jemima Maxine, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Barker was stricken with shopping cough which later developed into pneumonia, causing her death, Nov 27. The little darling came to bless the home Dec 26, 1917. She leaves to survive her a broken-hearted father and mother, a brother, Arthur D. and two half sisters, Pauline and Dora. All was done that the physician, nurse and loving hands could do. her time had come and God knows best. But Jemima was loved by all who knew her; she was a sweet tempered child, with a loving disposition and always ready to meet you with a smile. She will be missed by all who knew her. Funeral services at the home on Monday morning, Nov 29, were conducted by Rev. OS Stewart. Burial at Harveysburg. The pallbearers were: Misses Cora and Hazel Barker, Madge Spruhan and Ruth Fickenwirth. Beautiful flora offerings were given by the roundhouse boys and Miss Jemima Foster. As we cannot reach each one and take them by the hand those who expressed sympathy in the form of flowers, personal aid or kind words of consolation when our little darling died, we resort to this means of communication to sincerely thank all who assisted in our recent bereavement. May God bless you all and give you success in your life's path. Mother and Father, Brothers and sisters. - kbz
