Daughter of Canby and Blanche Morgan Deppen

Bessie Martha Deppen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Deppen, died at the home of her parents, February 6, 1930, at the age of 13 years, 7 months, and 13 days.

After a short illness of intense suffering caused by spinal meningitis, she was taken to that upper and better Kingdom. She leaves to mourn her loss her father, mother, four brothers, Ralph, Ernest, Fred, Dean, a sister, Nada, and many relatives and a host of friends. Her going away was on the 17th birthday of her brother, Fred, who had the care of his sister much of the time during her sickness.

Bessie was a faithful and dutiful child in the home and in the school. She was known and loved by many because of the acquaintances she had formed on her paper route. The weather was never too cold for her. She seemed to feel a deep responsibility regarding the affairs of the home.

During her short illness many friends paused at the gate with this question, "How is Bessie today?" Today, we feel that we can say that Bessie is better. In that thought we find comfort to our aching hearts.

The funeral service which was very brief, was conducted from the yard of the home by the Rev. G. C. Milner, assisted by Rev. G. K. Goodwin. Burial was at Kirwin Cemetery.
