Obituary of Vivian Hodges



From 23 August 1905, Clark County (IL) Herald



Vivian, the little daughter of Charles C. and Emma Hodges of

Melrose township, died August 10, 1905.  Her life of two and

one-half years was a benediction to the parents, sisters and

brothers, grandparents, uncles and aunts.  Hers was a bright,

short life of sunshine and joy, and oh!  how hard to live

without her little presence, though transformed from an

earthly life to a heavenly life, from a mortal to an immortal

life, from one of corruption to an incorruptible life, from a

brief life to an endless life.  Take courage, father and

mother, sisters and brothers.  Through our tears we can by

faith see her spotless soul safe with Him who died that she

might live forever.  Her life was brief here, but God has

promised to satisfy her with long life and show her His

salvation.  Memorial services are always sad services, but

with Christian heart and Christian hope and Christian faith

they are not dead, but they are just gone away somewhere in

the great beyond, in the limitless universe of Almighty God.

They live again and by and by their friends shall see them in

the glory of the incarnation.  In the beauty of their

holiness, we shall see them.  A. G. C.
