ANY GutShall.

We are sorry to report the sad
death of Miss Amy Gutshall which
occurred last Sat. eve, Aug. 3lst
at her home on Jacksons River.
ANY was a bright girl and was
loved by all who knew her. She
will be missed by her many friends
and Especially by those at home
which we know will her gentle
footstep and kind voice and sweet
face which they shall no more see
or hear. But as we know that she
is no more with us let us try to
meet her in Heaven where there
shall be no partlngs.
Dearest Amy thou hast left me,
And thy loss we deeply feel;
But it's God thai hath berelt us.
He can all our sorrows heal.
Sister do not weep for Amy
Though we know your heart is sad.
She is sleeping sweetly sleeping,
In her cold and narrow bed.
Do not weep for her dear brothers
Though her form you will see no more.
She has only gone to mother,
Oyer on the other shore.
Father, fgther try to meet them
When this weary life is DER
FRAY that you shall someday greet them
Safely on the other shore.
