IN MEMORIAM
On the morning of August 21st, 1927 just as the dawn of the Sabbath Day was breaking over the horizon, the Death Angel entered the home of Mrs. Annie Trexler and carried to heaven the spirit of this mother.
This dispensation of God's providence left the hearts of the loved ones there sad and desolate and made friends of this truly good woman very lonely.
During her brief span of years Mrs. Trexler was faithful and loyal to her church in all its activities and on every occasion contributed of her means to the support of the Gospel.
As a neighbor and a valued friend she proved herself to be a jewel, always interesting and helpful. It was a delight to converse with her as she kept well in touch with the world around her. Her memory was most retentive and to those who were lucky enough to carry on conversation with her found her most interesting.
In every sense she was a true mother, for her devotion and tender helpfulness to her son while in his tender years were only greater as he grew to manhood.
Her desire to get well and to work again was great and this she looked forward to with great hope. But God, Who never makes mistakes, knew that she had already finished her work on earth, so He called her home to the reward and loved ones who waited there, where
the inhabitants never say "I am sick".
