"At Rest"
April 7th at 9:30 a.m., the spirit of Little Norman Christian, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Germant, returned to the arms of Jesus, from whence it came.
A life so brief, yet long enough to weave itself in love into the hearts of the parents. As a flower which has blossomed, then faded away having blessed the world with its beauty and fragrance, so the life of this little child, enriching and sweetening their lives as only the love for an own child can.
We cannot understand, but our God who is the real comforter of hearts in times of sorrow, doeth all things well, and we submit our wills to Him, feeling that Heaven has been brought nearer, and Christ is dearer, because of our grief.
The funeral services were conducted at the German Lutheran Church, Wednesday April 8th, by Rev. Schmitt.
