OBITUARY.
Died, April s, at the home Of his par
ents, at Penfield center, Burnham L., son
Of Edward and Zylpha Moore.
He was born November II, 1893, and
was just l6 months and 28 days old when
grim death set his fatal seal upon him.
He Yves a beautiful boy. one of those
precOcious infants so often heard of but
so seldom seen, Of whom it is said, "He
was too bright to live." He was great
fayoritS with all who knew him, and his
strickeiy paEants have the hearty sympa.
thy of the entire community.
Scarce seventeen months have passed
since the tiny morsel of humanity was
deposited in his mothers arms, and for
that lengthiOf time he has frightened
and beautifed all the world for them.
For him they had planned great things
to come to pass in the future; they had
not the least thought Of a childless fut-
urea future spent without the sunny
radiance Of his presence. And then
came the great destroyer. One day a
great black shadow lOOmed up before
their view, it grew, it descended, it filled
the little home, it shut out Gods beauti-
full sunlight, it cut off all hope of that
lovely future so happily planned, it
stifed them and chilled the warm hearts
blood in its flow; it was the shadow of
death and for one week they watched it
grow and EMBODIED their precious baby
boy, then came the end, and for a while
they feel that their world is torn up and
lies in chaos around them and all their
well-laid plans would never meet fru-
ition here.
But we know that little Burnie has
gone to far happier home, where pain
and sorrow can never come, nor pain
nor death can enter there"
In that bright realm whence SO short
ly he passed, he watches with eager eyes
and waiting footsteps, for the loved par
ents left sOrrowing here.
May this deep atfliction be tempered to
them and may their strength be ade-
quate to the burden.
These deeply sOrrowing ones wish to
tender their sincere thanks to the atten-
tive doctor and kind friends who stood
beside them in their last hour of sorrow
and loss. E. D.
