Did she die of Spanish Flu? Bedford Times-Republican (Bedford, Iowa) Thursday February 20, 1919 p. 8 Harriett Maxine Bordner Harriett Maxine Bordner, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank L.[ee] Bordner [Ina Mary Atkins], of Hopkins, Mo., was born October 19, 1918, and went to the arms of the great Heavenly Father February 14, 1919, lacking five days of four months of age. The stay of the little life was only for a brief time but her stay was like the life of a flower, which leaves behind a sweet and hallowed fragrance. Besides the sorrowing parents, loving and sympathetic relatives and friends join in mourning the passing of this little life. The Master has come down into His garden to gather lilies and took back this choice and precious bloom to brighten the courts of heaven. The funeral service was held at the home in Hopkins, in charge of the pastor of the Methodist church, and the little body was laid to rest in Fairview cemetery at Bedford, Rev. L. P. Goodwin, pastor of the local Methodist church, having charge of the service at the grave.
