• Notes

  McGill Settlement, June 2, 1914 Okolona Messenger. The ride of the pale horse has again passed through our neighborhood. Another family circle has been broken by the hand of death. Two broken hearted parents are wiping away hot briney tears of sorrow and anguish for a cherished darling has been taken from them. Last Wednesday, at one o'clock, the soul of Herman Ishmael, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Davidson, took its flight to the home and paradise of God from whence it came. Two years and ten months is a short time to live. But that was the length of mortal life alloted to little Herman. The purpose for which God had sent him to earth was accomplished. Jesus, when he bowed his head on the cross of calvary and said 'it is finished' saw the soul of little Herman Davidson in his eternal plan of salvation. Somehow-someway, it is not for us to know, we believe God saves all these little ones who are taken while in their tender years. The bright light of a home, the pet and darling of a household was not given up without a fight to keep it here. After the little fellow was stricken, everything that a skilled physician could do and the watchful care of a loving father and mother all was done that could be done to keep little Herman here, but God who doeth all things well thought best to take the little soul unto himself. It is hard to give these little ones up, and at such times as these we cannot be reconciled to the fact that it is best so. The Lord had only loaned this little treasurer for a short period, it's home was in heaven with God and his angels. It's stay here on earth was only a visit. It was too pure and innocent to remain here in a world like ours. The little soul today is reveling in God's paradise, celebrating its return to its home in glory. In after years, when the parents of little Herman have grown old and the time for them to enter the great beyond draws near, the knowledge that they have a little angel there beckoning them to come home no doubt will be sweet indeed. The little form in a spotless white casket was taken to the Pleasant Grove Cemetery Thursday morning and there laid away to await the sound of the Arch Angels trumpet, when all the dead shall rise to meet God. Mr. and Mrs. Davidson have the sympathy of the entire community in this sad bereavement.
