Minister at Washington, and
subsequently Ambassador in

that the doctors ordered The

Rollins Stebbins, IL years

room to sleep. In looking
around for a nook where he
could lay his new, clean shirt,

which came strange noises, bu'

In 1emOriam,

On the morning of Jan. 9th, the
death angel entered the home OF Mr. Al
fred Paschall and again called for one Of
its members. This time he laid his hand
on the youngest child, and little Allie
flew away on the wings of love to his
Eternal Home, thereto join his grand
father who was called away last year.
Little Allie was between four and five
years of age, the pet of his grandmother
and parents. He was one of the most
intelligent children ever knew and his
disposition was as sweet and loving as
an angels. He was particularly fond of
visitors, and the writer loved him dearly.
The grief of his young mother was
heart-rending. The death of little
Allie was shock to the community, at
it was almost sudden. He had an affec-
ton of the brain and had been complains
ing for some time with headache, but
did not seem to be seriously i'll until
Sunday night at twelve when he walked
from sleep in great pain. Four hours
later the battle was over and death was
triumphant.
The burial services were conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Hornady, of Ridgeway. There
was an unusually large concourse of peO-
pie to witness it. We extend our heart
felt sympathies to the bereaved family,
and commend to their consideration a
life gilmore thorough conservation to the
service Of the Master, so that they may
at last join their little boy in the home
of their heavenly Father.
The death of this child impressed US
more fully with the uncertainty OF life
and the Importance OF preparing for the
grim monster when he comes to claim
his victims. A FRIEND
