In Memory of Little Toby Perry.

Death has again invaded the home of
Mr.. AMI Mrs. w. V. Perry, this time
claiming their little Toby. He was sick
only seven days, but suffered greatly
until the Angel of Death released his
soul from this earthly prison to live with
God and his little angel brother on the
happy, golden shore where the faithful
part no mora. While home is darkened
and hearts bereaved, dear friends be
ready to meet them there. Toby is now
at the beautiful gate; there waiting and
watching for you. He told his mama
few days before he got sick that he was
going to die, and 60 play with his little
brother. His words came true. While
he was so sick he did not forget to repeat
his little prayer: "Now l Lay Me Down
to Sleep" etc. How sweet it is to die
in the name of the Lord.
Friendship and love have done their part,
And now can do no more;
The bitterness of death is past
And all thy sufferings DER.
