OBITUARY.
Departed this life March ID, 1901 at
o'clock p m, little Ada Vanderbilt,
at the home of the parents near Ev-
ans, aged years. month and days.
We can say the Lord has taken from
our midst precious treasure, she be-
ing our only little girl and just at the
age when her prattle and smile made
home joy, She was good natured,
kind hearted and loved by all who
knew her, The Lord loaned her here
awhile so that we might love her and
we received her love in return, and
now He has taken her away in her
pure innocence to dwell in that land
where pain nor death can euter. May
we trust in Elm Who doeth all things
well. She leaves father, mother,
three brothers, Berthe, aged 8, Tunis,
aged (who has been very low but is
slowly recovering from that same
dreaded disease, diphtheria), and
Johnny aged 3years, and many other
dear friends and relatives to mourn
their loss
There is a beautiful face in the 81
lent air
Which follows ne ever and near,
With smiling eyee and golden hair,
With voicaless lips, yet with breath
OF prayer,
That l feel but cannot hear.
The dimplsd hard and ringlets of gold
Lie low ia marble sleep;
1 stretch my hand for clasp as of old,
But the empty air is strangely cold,
And my vigil alone l keep.
There's a sinless brow wi h a radiant
crown,
And cross laid down in the dust,
There's a smile where never a shade
comes now,
And tears no more from those dear
eyes flow,
So sweet in their innocent trust.
All, well! and spring is come again,
Singing.her dear old song;
But oh! il sounds like sob of pain,
AS it floats in the sunshine and the
rain,
Der the hearts ofithe worlds great
throng.
There's a beautiful region above the
skies,
And we long to reach its shore,
For we know we shall find our treas
ure there,
The laughing eyes and golden hair
or our darling little Ada, gone be-
