In Remembrance
On Wednesday evening August 1, 1928, a shadow of great sorrow fell over the house of Mr. & Mrs. Lewis Newman, when the sweet spirit of their darling boy, Phillip Karl, left the little body and took its flight homeward to the God who gave it, and who hath said "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not for as such is the kingdom of heaven." Oh, it was so hard to give him up at the age of five years. He was the pride of the home. It was so hard to see him suffer during his illness, which lasted only one day, and to know we had to give him up so soon. But we feel our loss is heaven's gain. No more can we see him run and play. No more can we see those blue eyes....yet we have this consolation, that he is at rest, safe in the arms of Jesus and free from suffering and is waiting on the other shore to meet his loved ones there. May those dear little hands call us ever onward so when our life is ended we shall join him to spend eternity in that celestial city where no sad partings ever come and no good-bye words shall ever be spoken, But Karl is gone, yes, gone forever from this world and all we can do is prepare ourselves to meet him in glory where there is no pain or sorrow, but all is beautiful and pleasant.
Besides his mother and father he is survived by seven brothers and three sisters. Funeral services and words of comfort were spoken by Rev. Horn of Allen county and Rev. Harrell, Lewisburg, at Pleasant Hill church, August 2, 1928 after which the little body was laid to rest to await the resurrection morning.
Two little hands closed over the breast,
Two little feet laid down to rest,
One little voice that prattled in love,
Sweet songs now singing, in heaven above,
Closed in death is his dear form,
We have kissed thy marble brow,
And in our aching hearts, we know
We have no Karl now.
We loved him, yes, no tongue can tell,
How much we loved him, how well;
Christ's love was stronger, he thought best,
To take dear Karl to heaven to rest.
His mother, Mrs. Lewis Newman, Greenville, KY, R. 4
