VultuAkYs
rED:-Little Goidie Pearl Curry,
born in Barton Co., Kansas, Feb. II,
1897. Died Dec. goth, 1899. aged ,
years 10 months and 8 days.
Dear little Goldie she has passed away,
Gone to Der home above,
With us she could no longer stay,
This gentle child of love.
The Lord has taken her away,
From this vain world of strife;
In heaven transplanted there to stay,
And bloom In Eternal life.
Her body lies within the tomb,
Her spirit has gone home;
Just as the rose bursts forth to bloom.
AS the wintry storms do come.
No more her form We will behold,
Nor see her smiling face.
For death came with her arms so cold,
Aud left a vacant place.
A place this world can never fill,
Though friends around US crowd,
Well think of thee dear Goldie. still
Though wrapped within the shroud.
With fearful eyes we look around,
Our hearts are filled with pain
No more we'll hear thy footsteps bound
Within the door again.
Father. mother, sisters, brothers.
Thou hast left On earth to mourn,
Yet in heaven We can meet thee,
Where sorrows never, never come.
