Mrs. Edward Frahm Passed Away at Wyatt Memorial Hospital Saturday.
Services Held Monday.

A Faithful and Loving Wife, Devoted Daughter and Respected Friend, Has Passed From Our Midst.

In the midst of happiness and contentment, awaiting the crowning event that unites still closer the ties love and happiness, and bring still greater joy into the home life comes a staggering blow of sorrow that wrecks all happiness and shatters all fond hopes of future joyful bliss. The plans that had been carefully made by two joyful hearts as momentarily wiped out, and gloom and anguish prevail where there should be happiness. A new life has come, but it was brought into this world at a great price, and enormous sacrifice—the life of the mother who gave it. After the young mother was taken to the hospital, relative and friends prayed that the two live at stake at that moment might be saved, but all the efforts, skill and care were in vain. The all-wise Creator gives us happiness and sorrow, so that we may more fully understand the insignificance of our individual power, and unrestrained submit ourselves into the hands of that great Supreme Power.
