Wolbach Messenger Thursday, March 21, 1940 obit courtesy of Kay Baldwin (#47473401) ***** From the Phonograph Herald, transcribed by Linda Berney: At the funeral of Mr. and Mrs. John Lowe on Friday was their little daughter, Marjorie Lavonne. She was brought from the hospital to attend the services. When her many friends, and schoolmates from here and Grand Island went into the church after the funeral to sympathize with her, she said to them, "Keep a stiff upper lip, that's what they told me at the hospital." Brave little one! It will be very lonely for her, but she is bravely facing the future, with grit and determination.
