My beloved children, Jesse Ray
and Matte Gay, are gone. How
lonely and sad my home seems to
me. The darlings of my heart are
gone from my home. I never knew
any trouble until this bereavement
came to me. My children took sick
and were forced to their bed, lying
and lingering with, pain until the
angel of life came and carried them
to their heavenly home. How sad
did feel as ! looked on and saw that
my children were dead. 1t is all for
the best, for | know that they are at
rest, for the angels came and carried
them away. Itseems that / can hear
them, though can not. Their little
foot trip and their little chirping
voices ring in my ears all the time.

thy name, will and calling, whatever
it might be, and that / may meet
them in that sweet by-and-by.
