DURST, Forest Stanley
 
Forest Stanley Durst was born Oct. 17, 1892 and died April 11, 1898. Forest choked to death and died almost instantly. He was the son of W. F. and Alice Durst of New Germany. It is a hard stroke on the afflicted parents. He was a child of much promise, but God has plucked the bud and transplanted it in the garden of Paradise. The same hand that gathered the flower can “soothe the sorrow and ease the pain” of the bereaved ones. The funeral took place at Mt. Beulah conjointly with that of Mrs. Crowe, who died a few hours later, both caskets being in the church at the same time. The scene was a sad one. Their bodies were laid to rest in the Mt. Beulah cemetery to await the resurrection. The funeral services were attended by a large congregation of sympathizing relatives and friends and was conducted by the writer. composed by Rev. E. P. Idleman
