Elsie LaVerna, infant daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Hollis Carrier, died at their
home near Rowland, on the morning OF
Tuesday, January Il, 1898. aged two
months and Ii days. Apparently in
good health for one of her size (at birth
weighing y pounds), Elsie rested as well
as usual during the night and when the
attention OF the loving young mother
who was Miss Annie Perkins, was call
eel to her at / A. NJ. the baby was still
resting well. When the parents a1oke
two hours later at q A. NJ. the spirit oil
the pride OF the household had taken its
flight to Him Who said, "Sutier little
children to come unto Me-" Death is
always sad visitor, but only those par
ents who have lost their tirst.born fully
realize the bitter psngs that follow. ''lf
it be possible let this cup pass" is the
iamentation and prayer that comes from
their hearts. May the doing young
mother aud father find consolation in
the thought that they will meet their
child in the city paved with gold, where
family circles will ne'er break up and
praises never end. Their darling is
sleeping the sleep OF the innocent by
the side OF its grandfather and grand
mother, i'm Buffalo Cemetery, where it
was laid to rest after short service by
Rev. Ben Helm. There is
"Blessed hope how II shines in our sorrow,
Like the star over Bethlehem's plain,
That il may be, with Him, ere the morrow,
We shall meet with our loved ones again."
