Poem: I am eighty-three today, ah me-- How fast the years glide by. My birthday comes and ere I think One more is drawing nigh. In looking back the time seems short, Yet crowded in those years Are many griefs and many joys Glad smiles and bitter tears. I mark with joy the happy hours In days gone by I've past With husband, children at my side-- Too great a joy to last. For in the church yard one May day My husband's form was laid And words can never, never tell How dark my life was made. But for my precious children three I, too, would fain have died But thoughts of them gave me fresh hope To keep them near my side My grief was great yet hard I tried To Say, "Thy will be done." For faith seemed shaken at the first But grace has led me on. Dark were the days, I journeyed on Alone my grief to bear Once more death came and took my babe And left me weeping there. The years rolled on and passed, and I Once more became a wife. Four children more were given me And cheered me on through life. And still the years rolled on and they Are men and women grown Yet still to me are just as dear Since childhood days have flown. For each has tried to be to me True as the stars above And in return I give them all A mother's tender love. I have my children, but alas A chair is empty there My dear companion fell asleep The angels' home to share. Can it be true he will not come And call my name once more? No, but ere long I'll go to him When earthly days are o'er. Yes, eighty-three years old today How many more for me Will number on this side the grave This side eternity? Yet few or many though they be I fear not death or harm For God is ever at my side With his protecting arm. --Mrs. Alveretta Wood (1903) At the top of this document it is stated that 1903 was "sixteen years ago." I don't know if this typewritten version was from 1919 or if Izora retyped this document in 1969 with everything else.

  		Wedding article for Joe and Izora Military Wedding Takes Place Sunday The marriage of Miss L. Izora Hedburg and Joseph Dollander took place at 9:30 o'clock last evening at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Viletta Hedburg of West Thirteenth St. The young couple took their places under an arch which was elaborately decorated with flags and foliage. They were unattended. Mrs. L. C. Trent played the wedding march and also sang "Keep the Home Fires Burning." The ceremony was performed in the presence of thirty guests by Rev. L. C. Trent. The double ring ceremony was very impressive. As this was a military wedding, the home was decorated with red, white and blue. The bride's gown was of white embroidered organdy with which she wore a long sash of red, white and blue satin. Her bouquet was of beautiful white roses in which was placed a small American flag and several of the Allies' flags. The bride graduated from the Kewanee High School class of 1915 and has been engaged in teaching school the past three years. She will remain at home with her mother while her husband is in the service. The bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dollander and has been engaged in farm work practically all of his life. He is among the selected men who will leave tomorrow for Camp Grant. He is one of the alternates. Mr. and Mrs. Dollander are popular and well liked young people and their many friends will extend hearty best wishes to them.
