Bryan Clark son Of Wiley and Archie Clark,
died April 6, 1898, aged years, months and y
days Words are too cold and insensate to do JUS
tice, or even to attempt to portray the infantile
charms Of such lovely child Bryan, who
to our imperfect conception, was SO suddenly and
rudely torn from the bosom of his devoted parents.
His suffering was intense, but lasted only few
hours, when the angels came and bore him away
on their "snowy wings to the realms Of bliss.
sad vacuum has been made in that sweet home,
where that musical voice of Bryan was ever pratt
Ting and ripping, like pellueid stream dancing
in the sunbeam. His cute little sayings so precious,
can never be forgotten by many of them who knew
him. He seemed indeed a hali-opened rosebud
with the dew sparkling upon its petals
Parents, it is well with your sweet, precious
child for Jesus has taken him home to live with
the good and true forever. As the almost broken
hearted mother bends over the silent mound of
earth that covers his remains, plant sweet hOw-
ers to decorate its solitary loneliness, return
home te gaze upon his vacant chair, it is indeed
bard to say, "Thy will be DONE" Dear little Bryan
has finished his task and gone up higher. He has
plumed his little pinions and gone to Him who
said, ''suffer little children to come unto and
forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of
heaven" The King of Kings called him to confer
a crown upon him, that henceforth he may WELD a
scepter over father, mother and brothers.
Dear parents, think of him as an angel clothed
in beauty free from the that cling to earth
and only Heaven can heal. He is now a precious
tie to bind the affections of mamma and papa to
Heaven.
In his death happy home has been darkened
and bright auticipatiOns have been blasted. But
the Heavenly Father knew best. Ere the breath
Of sin had sulied his fair and innocent life, God
took him to dwell with the angels, May the
blessings of Heaven rest upon the stricken parents
and the two precious little brothers. The blessed
gospel Of Christ comforts the broken heart,
Farewell, dear little Bryan, farewell;
Thy spirit is at rest,
With Jesus you will forever dwell
In the far away home Of the blest,
FRIEND EMMA.
Salisbury, Tenn, May 4, 1898.
