Ransom Record, Dec. 23, 1926 -------------------------------------- OBITUARY Donald Keith Briggs was born June 15, 1924, and died Dec. 23, 1926 at the age of 2 years, 6 months and 8 days, in the St. Rose Hospital at Great Bend, Kansas. He was ill about 10 days with intestinal flue, which developed into pneumonia at the last. His sweet and cheerful disposition endeared him to all, and during his illness he was very patient and good, so that the home he leaves will greatly miss him. His parents, grandparents and a multitude of friends grieve over the sudden passing of the little one; but know he is in the Better World where there is no more suffering, pain or death. This little poem beautifully expresses the emotions of The Mother Heart “A little clasping to her yearning breast; A little musing over future years; A heart that prays, “Dear Lord, thou knowest best But spare my flower, life’s bitterest rain of tears.” A little spirit speeding thro’ the night; A little home grown lonely, dark and chill; A sad heart groping blindly for the light A little snow-clad grave beneath the hill. A little gathering of life’s broken thread; A little patience keeping back the tears’ A heart that sings, “Thy darling is not dead God keeps him safe, thro’ his eternal years.” A large concourse of sympathizing friends of the bereaved families came to the M.E. Church at 1:30 P.M. on Christmas day to give the last loving word and farewell to the dear little boy whose short life was like a ray of sunshine. Rev. J.L. Mitchell gave a short but touching, tho’ comforting discourse. Friends sang sweet loving hymns, many lovely flowers surrounded the tiny casket and four of Phebe’s school boys tenderly bore the precious body to his last resting place in the plot beside Grandpa and Grandma LaPlante, in the Ransom cemetery.
