Died, near HugheSville, July goth, 1886,
at o'clock p. M, after serious illness of 8
days Mary Modena, the beloved daughter Of
J. L. and Georgianna Joy, aged Il months
and % days. Day after day We saw her face
as it gently faded away, yet often in our halts
we prayed to God that she might longer stay,
but, we had to bid farewell, FAREWELL to our
precious daring babe for she could no longer
stay. Life is sad without the heart. Obi
may we meet thee in heaven above where all
is JOY, peace and love. Lonely the house and
sad the hours since our dead daughter has
gone, but oh, brighter home than ours in
heaven is now her own. No more We see
those loving smiles or nurse that little head
nor watch that gentle sleep, for oh, our
Maud is dead.
