Leatherman.__ Martha E. Leatherman, daughter of Bro. Arthur and Sister Barbara Leatherman, died of diphtheria, Aug. 25, 1921; aged 4 years. Interment in Doylestown, Pa., Mennonite Cemetery.



Farewell, farewell, I must be gone

The aching heart, the parting tear,

So soon had come, O, can it be?

Yet I hope I'll be from sorrow free.

Dear mother, dear father, dear grandma,

My sweet, dear cousins and comrades all,

To you I say Farewell;

O think you too must die;

I am waiting to meet you all on high;

Through the Blood of Jesus I am as

Happy as I can be.

Do not shed a tear for me. --- D.N.
