Buried at Sandy
SANDY, Mar. 1. The entire com
munity was shocked and saddened by
the death of little Evelyn Lucile
Meinig, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Al
bion Meinig Monday morning at three
o clock. She was ill only a few dayt
and while everything was done that
was posible to save her it was all to
no avail. Here is what her teacher,
Mrs. Lillian Ten Eyck says of Evelyn:
"She was beautiful child of nine years,
a perfect little lady in every way. Her
Bweetness of disposition, cheery little
smile endeared her to everyone whom
she met. At school she was loved by
her schoolmates and teacher who can
truthfully say that Evelyn was al
ways at the head of her class. She
loved to study, and every day was
spent doing the little tasks of her
life cheerfully and with a desire to
do them in the best way possible. It
is hard to understand how one so
young and 'promising should be taken,
but perhaps God, in His infinite wrs-
dom needed her. Beside her father and
mother who are heart broken over the
loss of their dearly beloved daughter,
