DIED:
In Pike township, on Nov Sth, 1866, of
typhoid fever and diptheria, JULIA ANN,
daughter of Nathan B. and Sarah
Trude, aged IA years, months and % days.
Death has been here, and borne away
A sister from side,
Just in the morning of her day,
As young as we, she died.
Not long ago she filled her place,
And sat with us to learn;
But she has run her mortal race,
And never can return.
Perhaps our time may be short
Our days may fly as fast;
Oh, Lord impress this solemn thought,
That this may be our last. A.A.f.
