BOHN, Mrs. Laura Wolford

These next 2 articles from the same edition of the paper are concerning Laura (Wolford) Bohn’s death. She was born May 13, 1877 in Fossilville, Bedford Co., Pennsylvania:
Much can be said of the Flu's dreadful work in this community. One of the most notable cases is the family of Howard Bohn. A week ago Mr. Bohn and family of six went down with this disease. The mother took pneumonia, and died Friday at 9 o'clock. The two daughters, Veda and Agnes, are dangerously ill and the father is in bad shape. Through the efforts of Walter Diehl and the Red Cross, a nurse was secured from Cumberland who comes today to take care of the others. To Mrs. Ella Filler of Rainsburg, belongs great praise for leaving her family yesterday to come and wait on this lady in her dying hours. To Walter Diehl belongs greater praise than words can express for his untiring work and kindness in giving help to this sick and death stricken family.

As I sit in Heaven and watch you every day,
I try to let you know with signs I never went away.
I hear you when you’re laughing and watch you as you sleep.
I even place my arms around you to calm you as your weep.
I see you wish the days away, begging to have me home.
So I try to send you signs to you know you are not alone.
Don’t feel guilty that you have life that was denied to me.
Heaven is truly beautiful – Just you wait and see.
So live your life, laugh again, enjoy yourself, be free.
Then I know with every breath you take, you’ll be taking one for me.
