© The Verden News Verden, Oklahoma February 10, 1922 June 8, 1918 ~ February 6, 1922 Johnetta, three and one half year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Fitzgerald who live five miles northeast of town, died February 6th and was layed to rest in the city cemetery Monday afternoon. Rev. Taylor preached the funeral sermon, which was listened to by a large throng of sorrowing friends. Little Johnetta only a few short years ago came to brighten a happy home, but having taken her departure, the dark shadows of sorrow have come to sadden the fond parents hearts. A chair of the family circle is vacant which never can be filled, but another Angel Graces the Throne of God. We extend sympathy to the bereft parents, and commend them to Him who is able to wipe their tears away. |
