19 November 1914 - West Branch Times

Geneva Helen Christee, youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Christee, was born April 1, 1912, at Bellevue, S. D., and died at their home in West Branch, Iowa, Nov. 12, 1914, aged 2 years, 7 months and 12 days.

Thus over a happy home the shadow of a little grave has fallen, and, as another has said, it is wonderful how long a shadow a little grave can throw.

This beautiful baby life was so precious, so frought with blessing to her parents that she seemed a flower of paradise permitted to bloom for a brief season by their side, leaving the earth road for them dark and lonely indeed.

The funeral was held Saturday at 2:00 p.m. from the home, Rev. W. H. Mitchell conducting the services. Interment in the West Branch cemetery.
