BABY DAUGHTER OF BEN CROWELL CALLED TO REST

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Crowell was made unutterably sad on Sunday when their only daughter, Wilma Edith, breathed her last and her little spirit returned to the God who gave it.

Little Wilma was ten months and two days old at the time of her death, and was the only girl of a family of nine children, and for this reason she was especially idolized by the family. She had been a delicate baby all her life, and her few months on earth had been fraught with much suffering.

The funeral was held at the home on Monday afternoon, conducted by Rev. C. M. Foreman, and the little body was taken on the afternoon train to Lyons and laid away in the family lot by the side of four little brothers.

There remains to mourn the demise of this sweet baby girl her parents, four brothers, her grandparents and other relatives to whom the sympathy of the community is extended.

Note: No burial records were located on Find a Grave. I believe her father Find a Grave Memorial # is 105003565
