Sunday, the 18th. was day of funerals
in Fair Haven. The first was the one of
little Gertie Graves, daughter of d. X.
Graves, aged five years, holden at the Bap-
tst church. 1t was an occasion of mourn
ing to all who attend the services at this
church and to all who have been in the
habit of attending the concerts of the Sun
day school. Little Ger;ic was member of
the infant class Of this school, and her
mother is Il very active member of the
church. At concert some two months
since she took such an active part and in
terested the audience so much that they all,
as by ono accord, adopted her as their Ger
tie. Her sweet, happy, smiling face can be
seen in the Imagination Of those that then
saw her. At the funeral there was the
deepest sympathy extended from pastor and
congregation to tho afflicted mourners One
hymn was sung by the choir, another by
the Sabbath school, and the third was the
following solo, The Golden Stair" sung
BY Annie Williams, girl ten years old, a
sweet singer, in which she arjculated each
word so as to be understood distinctly by
the whole audience, moving all, both young
and old, TO tears, and when she was through
there was not dry eye in the house.
Put away the little ploythlngs that the darling
used to wear;
She will need them on earth never, she has
climbed the golden stair.
She is with the happy angels. and long for her
sweet kiss,
Where her lttlc foct are waiting in the realms
OF perfect bliss.
Lay aside her little playthlngs, wet with moth
cr'S peurly tears
How we shall miss ii tie Gcrtle all the coming
many years ;
Fold the dainty little dresses, that she never
more Will wear,
For her little feet are waiting up above the gol-
den STAIR
Kiss the little curly tresscs, cut from her bright
golden hair.
Do the angels kiss our darling, in the realms so
bright and fair?
Oh! we pray to meet our darling, for long,
long, sweet embrace,
Whore the little feet are waiting, and We meet
her face to face.
The infant class preceded the coricgc to
the cemetery.
