In loving memory of Russell Edwin Inglish, youngest son of Mrs. Hattie Inglish, who departed this life December 28, 1916. Russell Edwin was born November 5, 1905, being 11 years, 1 month and 23 days of age at the time of his death. Little Russell has the greater part of his life been a sufferer and unexpectedly he was, as it were, touched by the hand of God and now he sleeps. During the last twelve months of his illness the best medical skill obtainable had been employed, not only among our local physicians, but council from St. Louis and Kirksville, yet it was not possible to check his disease. AT his bedside were all members of the family except one sister, Mrs. H.A. Smith, of Nelson, Mo., who arrived on Friday.
Funeral services were held at the Christian Church on Saturday morning conducted by Rev. Edmond Wilkes of Columbia, Mo., who is a life-long friend of the family, after which the remains were laid to rest by the side of his father, S.R. Inglish, in the Olean Cemetery.
Again we are in the solemn presence of death. Words are weak when we face this unspeakable mystery. We can express it with no language, we can only feel it. When the pang of common mortality strikes through us, we look upon the face of the dead in added sorrow for it is youth we are beholding now, fixed in everlasting calm. One might have thought this little span of years was but the prelude to a long and useful life when lo, the beginning is now the end and his brief days on earth is done. There is sadness in the home too deep for tears, quite beyond expression. To depart in the springtime of life, when existence is radiant as sunshine, and yet how perfect life is then, to live or to leave, for he years of heartbreak have not come and all the bright youthful hopes are undimmed. His little heart was pure and sweet and it is youth that God has now divinely claimed.
