THOMAS GILL, ASSESSOR
Again the sad messenger of death
has been here and entered the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Mullenger.
south Of the Station, and claimed one
of Its fairest blossoms. Bessie May
Mulenger was born October 5, 1899,
and died March 25, 1900. Little Bes-
sic was sick only few days, and
everything was done to relieve the
little sufferer, in hopes of saving her
life, but on Sunday morning death
relieved her from pain, and her little
spirit returned to God who gave it.
The funeral was held on Tuesday,
from the Methodist church, at Audu-
bon Reverend Matheney, the pastor,
conducted beautiful ceremony after
which the remains were laid to rest in
the Audubon Cemetery, but we know
that she is with the angels in the land
where sorrow never comes.
Another little lamb has gone
To dwell with Him who gave;
Another darling little babe
Is sheltered in its grave.
| God needed one more angel child
Amid His shining band
And SO he bent with loving smile
And claspcd our darling's hand.
The little crib is empty now
! The little clothes laid by
/ mothers hope, fathers JOY
In deaths cold arms doth lie.
Go little pilgrim to thy home
On yonder blissful shore
We miss thee here but soon will come
Where thou hast gone before.
Two little angels now on high,
i They hand in hand together roam,
Two links now bind us to the sky,
Two fingers beckon us to come
Lord give us strength our loss to bear,
And lead us in the heavenly way;
Oh, may meet our children there
In realms of endless day. NJ. ID.
CARD OF THANKS We most sim
cerely thank our kind friends aud
neighbors for their hel p and sympathy
during the sickness and death Of our
darling baby, Bessie Nav.
