LKP#5
Alva Junior Christman was born June 18, 1931, and died November 21, 1940, being at the time of his death nine years, five months and three days old. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Alva Christman, of near Monroefield, and was born in Seneca Township at the home of his grandfather, Fred Christman.
He leaves to mourn his sad departure, his father, mother, two brothers, Emerson and Gerald; two sisters, Eloise and Shirley Jean; his paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Christman; his maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Kahrig; and one great grandfather, George Pfalzgraf, besides a host of relatives and friends.
The body was removed to Bauer and Turner Funeral Home, where it was prepared for burial and returned to the home on Friday afternoon.
Short services were held at the home at 2:00 o?clock, Sunday, with final services being held at Middle Evangelical and Reformed Church in charge of Rev. Wm. R. Walch. Interment was in the church cemetery.
He was a good boy and was a great help not only to his father and mother but to everyone that he could do something for, he sure would and always wanting to do more. He spent many of his days with Grandpa and Grandma Christman of whom he thought a lot of.
He was attending the Calais School and was in the third grade. He was proud of his teacher, Miss Eunice Hannahs, who was his teacher for all three years.
We know he is sadly missed not just here at home but by all who knew him.
His friendly smiles, his kindly way
Are pleasant to recall;
He had a kind word for everyone
And died beloved by all.
A dear one from us is gone
Gone, yes, forevermore;
But we know some day we will meet him
On that bright and happy shore.
