Only minimal spelling or punctuation corrections were made. Unreadable areas are shown by underlines, dots &/or question marks.

SHERMAN JOSEPH BROWN
DIED
BROWN–On Sunday, December 25, of diphtheria after a sickness of nine days, Sherman Joseph Brown, youngest son of Willis and Nora E. Brown, aged one year, ten months and twenty-five days.
Little Sherman was a very bright little boy and loved most dearly by his parents and all who knew him. But as the Master passed by and saw the flower of rare excellence he saw fit to remove it to his manslon above that is reserved for little children.
And there before his Savior,
So glorious and so bright;
He’ll join the heavenly choir,
And praise him day and night.
Now Sherman is given over,
His clay lies ‘neath the sod;
And all his suffering ended.
Our Sherman is safe with God.
