Betty had not been well for several months but took suddenly worse on Wednesday. Betty May, adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Wensel of Allerton was born July 2, 1930 and passed away Sept. 8, 1944 at the age of 14 years, 2 months and 6 days. She leaves to mourn her passing, her parents; two brothers, Dean of Allerton and Walter of the U.S. Seabees, stationed at Pearl Harbor; one sister Evelyn McCarty of Promise City; two sisters-in-law, Mrs. Linda Wensel of Allerton and Mrs. Collette Wensel of Des Moines; three nieces; her grandmother, Mrs. Ida Donald of Atalissa and a number of other relatives and friends. Her mother died when she was two years old. She came to her present home southeast of Allerton April 2, 1934. She spent most of her life in Wayne county and was graduated from the eighth grade at the Allerton schools with the class of 1944. She was converted at home with her parents, by radio, Dec. 31. 1941 and sanctified at the Nazarene church in Allerton June 27, 1943. Never was a child more lovable and devoted to her parents. To know her was to love her. Funeral services were held from the Nazarene church in Allerton at 2:00 p.m. Sunday with interment in the Allerton cemetery. Space for the following memorial poem was purchased by Betty May's parents: Wait for me at the gate. Meet me just across the river, On the golden shore I'll wait; I will ever watch and linger Close beside the open gate. I will tell the stately wonders, He who holds the golden bar, That I'm waiting for your coming, Just to leave the gate ajar. After I have crossed the river, To the realms of endless day, I will ask that God may send me Back to light you on your way. I will ask to be the Angel, Guarding you where'er you roam. I will guide your every foot-step, Till you hear the words, "Come home." When the shadows round you gather. Do not fear to go alone; I will come and bear you upward, To that bright and heavenly home. Forever He had led me. You can safely follow on. And the boat that bears me over Will bear you to the world beyond. To that Holy City yonder, Where not half was ever told Of the many mansions waiting Where the streets are paved with gold. In the land where there's no sorrow We shall meet to part no more; Weary years will be forgotten, When we meet on that fair shore.
