"Red Bluff Daily News" (Red Bluff, California), Tuesday, 25 May 1920:
IN MEMORIAM
Dear, darling Neva; so sweet and so fair.
The light and joy of her home here on earth,
Has been called by her Savior to Realms above.
To the land of her Eternal Birth.
She was her parents' little fairy.
She was beautiful in character and face;
And no more thoughtful, obedient daughter
Ever an earthly home did grace.
Her life was short and useful
Now her duties are done;
And she has passed on to the better world
Where her new work has begun.
She has gone to the "Many Mansions"
"Beyond the Vale of Tears,"
To the land where sorrow and death ne'er come
Throughout the endless years.
Dear loved ones, the Savior comforts you
In this, sorrow's darkest hour.
When you had to give up dear Neva,
Your sweet precious flower.
She is safe at home with Jesus
And will wait for you to come too;
For 'tis only a few fleeting years
Till the earthly life is through.
She has only gone on before you,
And her becoming hands will call,
"Dear papa, mama, sisters, brother,
Come up higher, come all."
So put your hope in Jesus,
The one who knows the best,
And you'll meet dear little Neva,
In a land of "Endless Rest."
