© The Verden News Verden, Oklahoma Friday, 1 December 1933 Anita Mae Brown Died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Brown, four miles northeast of town, Friday November 24, their daughter Anita Mae, age 3 years, 2 months and 17 days. A brief funeral service was held at the home Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Ethridge of Apache. Many of the relatives and friends of the sorrowing family were present, and as they looked upon the sweet placid little body in its white casket and surrounded by beautiful and fragrant flowers - yet not more beautiful or pure than the little face within - their hearts swelled in sympathy for the bereaved family. But let us not think of little Anita Mae as dead, but as living; not as a flower that has withered, but as one transplanted, and touched by a Divine hand, is blooming in richer color and sweeter fragrance than those of earth. "There is no death! The stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore, as bright in Heaven's jeweled crown They shine forever more" |
