the soul of little Thomas Edgar, the ten
months old son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. w
Marshall, CT Wheaton, went home to
God who gave it. We laid him To rest
in the bosom of mother earth. The
mound seemed less grave-like because he
was so like an angel in his snowy white
ness. Much sympathy is felt for the
family, especially for the faithful mother.
There fell on his restless spirit
A hush, so wondrously sweet;
And he has crossed the river
To rest at the Masters feet"
