Fannie May Gray.

Fannie May Gray was severely
burned on February 26, 1897, and
died on March 26. She suffered in
tense pain, but bore it without a
murmur. She was bright little
girl, three years, four months and
five days old. Her stay on earth
was short, but full of Joy to her
grandmother. The sweetest flowers
are the first to fade; she was a bud
planted on earth to bloom in
heaven, and why should we sorrow?
We have Christ's divine Word to
assure us that she is at rest and free
from all the pain and care of this
sad world. Dear grandmother, be
comforted with the thought that she
sweetly rests in Jesus loving care.
Her going leaves one tie less to bin d
you to earth and one more to draw
you to heaven, where parting of
loved ones will be no more. So let us
be watchful, prayerful and earnest,
and follow in the footsteps of Jesus,
and he will one day lead us up to
heaven where we will live in peace
