| Obituary- Startup, Vernadell Headstone says DOD - 27 April 1915
Vernadell Startup Dead
The final summons came Sunday night April 27, calling from our midst little Vernadell Margaret Startup, "who had lingered between life and death for several days," to the great wonderland beyond the stars.
The funeral services were held at the Startup home on South Main Street, conducted by the Rev. H.L. Nelson, of Topeka, assisted by the Rev. G.A. Chatfield of Rossville. Owing to the fact that the child's death was due to a backset of the measles, it was thought best to not have a public funeral and f9ollow out the letter of the law concerning deaths resulting directly or indirectly from contagious diseases.
Vernadell was born in Los Angeles, California, July 17, 1907, being 5 years 9 months and 10 days old, but she now sleeps in the arms of Jesus where she will wake in a brighter world, which may be nearer us than we now -- perhaps only a thin veil that hides our vision is all that separates her from us.
She will be missed by all who knew her. By her teacher and classmates in Sunday school where her bright little face always wore a smile for everyone. By the neighbors and friends with whom she was a favorite. At home no one can fill her place, and the sympathy of the community is with the bereaved home.
Fadeless the crown on
Vernadel's brow
She is clad in the vestments
of Angelhood now.
