DIED..


Fell asleep in Jesus on Oct 30th, 1880,
LEWIS CHESLEY, beloved son of Lewis
ii. and Mollie Davis, aged years, 8 months
and II days.
Death has visited us to-day and plucked
from the bush the dearest flower that was
in bloom. Only a short while ago our
household was filed with the merry songs
OF little Chesley, but is now house Of
mourning. He was darling boy, an in
teresting child and was beloved by every
one who knew him.
Asleep in Jes US far from thee
Thy kindred and their graves may be;
But there is still blessed sleep
From which none ever wakes TO weep.
Farewell papa, mamma, too,
No longer shall / stay with You.
leave you here your trouble 10 bear
While go to heaven a crown to wear.
God has taken another angel home,
Far from all who knew and loved him;
lie has zone before the throne of God,
lie has gone into land OF love.
Farewell to You, sisters dear,
lie has parted from you all alone,
Though he is notdead-he is only sic sping:
He is cold and still within the torlb.
A little bud is pluc ked and gone,
That had just began 10 bloom,
An angel flew away with it
Unto his heavenly home.
Farewell papa and mamma,
Little Chesley has gone
To live forever with the angels
In Gods happy home.

MARY ALICE, beloved daughter of Syl-
vester Adams, in the 18th year Of her age
That sad and natural termination Of ex-
istence, death, which at some time brother
drops its veil over every household, shad-
owed the home of our sister and plucked
from its midst one cherished flower who
was all too fair fer this world. Yes. ant
even more sad is her dear home, where fond
hearts are nearly broken with sorrow, and.
where stands her vacant chair. Every
breeze seems TO remind the heart strokes,
ones OF her who but short time ago made
their home SO bright and gay. But Cad
thought II best to take our darling sister f'rosn
TINS world OF pain and worry. Let US all
trust that she is with the angels, where all
Is peace and love.
Farewell, dear sister, lis hard to say,
Thy viii, o God, be DONE
Though still we know she reaps reward.
Her crown of glory won.
But, oh, we miss our darling sister.
Our hearts throb wild with pain,
To think she has passed away
To never return again.
In the cold, damp sod of 81. Joseph.
They have laid Mamie down 70 rest.
Yes, there she is laid forever.
BY friends who loved her best.
No more smiling her we see,
Her steps no more we hear,
She has been called away and left us:
With our grief too deep 10 bear.
