Bio

MO d/c 33967-a Hagers Grove News. Relatives and friends gathered here Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 10, to pay their last respects to the remains of little Ruby Copenhaver, the eighteen months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Verna Copenhaver. A touchingly beautiful funeral discourse was held by Rev. Pearson after which the little body covered with flowers was laid to rest here by the side of its grandmother to await the resurrection morn. The parents have the sympathy of all in their grief. The Clarence Courier, Clarence, Missouri, 19 Sep 1917, Page 5, Columns 4 & 5 Death of Ruby Copenhaver. Ruby Envina (sic) Copenhaver, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vernie Copenhaver, northeast of town died Tuesday, Sept. 11, at the age of 1 year, 7 months and 12 days. Funeral services were held at Hagers Grove Wednesday afternoon by Rev. J. W. Pearson. The Clarence Courier, Clarence, Missouri, 19 Sep 1917, Page 7, Column 3 CHERRY BOX NEWS. "Little Ruby is dead." These were the sad words that came from the mother when she laid her darling down to rest. She never thought it would be the last time she would ever lay it down. Little Ruby was the precious child of Mr. and Mrs. Verni Copenhaver, who died Sept. 10, aged 1 year, 8 months, 15 days. She was born Jan. 29, 1916, and has been very precious to her parents. She had only been sick about 24 hours with hives. The doctors talked very encouraging and her little spirit took its flight back to the God that gave before they even thought she was bad. One more proof. The Bible says at the time when you think not the Son of Man cometh. Mr. and Mrs. Copenhaver your little one is free from pain and sorrow, happy in heaven with the God that gave her. We must remember those precious jewels are not ours.. We only have the care of them for a while. When they go in their under years we know there has not been a sin to stain the pure white robe. You can look up and almost see those little beckoning hands reaching for mamma and papa. Your darling is happy for Jesus said, Let the little ones come unto me for of such is the kingdom of heaven, and when asked who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven he sat a little child in their midst. Don't weep as those that have no hope. Prepare to meet your precious one where parting is unknown. Her remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at Hagers Grove Tuesday, Sept. 11.
