OBITUARY
Lois Pauline McCune was born August 23, 1908, in Parnell precinct, and died April 13, 1924, at 2:00 p.m. at the age of 15 years, 7 months and 20 days, of a complication of tonsillitis and measles.
Lois was a good girl, and a good student in school, and above all, was obedient to her parents who will miss her greatly in the home. Her place can never be filled by another.
Her last thought on her sick bed was of a hymn, “Jesus is all the World to Me.”
Her favorite hymn, “Saved by Grace” was sung.
She always enjoyed religious gatherings best of all and did not like wicked conduct in anyone.
She is survived by her father, mother, three sisters and a host of friends.
The services were conducted at the house of Rev. Primrose of Spalding. and the body was laid to rest in the Mount Hope Cemetery. A large crowd paid their last respects to this dear girl, and we more than appreciate the beautiful floral offerings sent to her by her Greeley high school class the Sunday School, neighbors, friends, relatives and also friends from Polk County.

If I could hear her speak, I think she would say,
O, Jesus, delight of my soul,
How can I Thy goodness proclaim?
'Tis Thou that didst make my heart whole,
All honor be unto Thy name,
Thou didst light up my spirit within,
Proclaiming Salvation so free,
When burdened with sorrow and guilt
And vileness was all I could see.
This poor faithless world shall all go,
Forever I turn from it now,
For none but Jesus, I'll know,
Recorded on high is my vow,
I am Thine, Blessed Jesus, all Thine,
The witness impart unto me,
The death that I die is to sin,
The life that I live is to Thee.
Go friends that would keep me from Him.
Go joys that would share with his love,
Go hopes that would draw me to sin,
Go all that from Him would remove.
Come sorrow, if only in thee,
I shall cling to my Savior and God.
Come scorn and reproach if left free,
To be drawn evermore to my Lord.
