MILDRED DAWSON

Mildred Dawson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R.H. Dawson, departed this life 
at the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Dawson of Magnet, 
March 13, 1912, she was born near Wausa in 1902 and at the time of her 
death was 9 years, 11 months and 15 days old. Little Mildred was a sweet 
little girl and was loved and respected by all her little school mates, 
she was a favorite among those who knew her, but the cold hand of death 
which has passed over her has cast a gloom over the pleasant home and 
surroundings which she left for a better one in the great beyond. The bereft 
ones have the entire sympathy of this community.

Funeral services were held at the Methodist church conducted by the Pastor 
Martin, after which the little remains were tenderly carried out to the 
cemetery, where amid a large circle of friends, she was lowered to her last 
resting place.

She was stricken with that dreaded disease, Pneumonia, which was contracted 
the latter part of February and for four weeks her friends, the best medical 
skill in this part and a trained nurse did all for her that was possible for 
a human to do but it was to no avail, no relief came to her until the great 
master called her to rest “Safe in The Arms of Jesus”.
