Obituary.

Kenneth Eugene, little son of Mr.. and
MIS-. ii. a. Bailey, born November 2, 1904,
died December 10, 1905, at 3 a. m. after
weeks illness. Kenneth was bright
beautiful little boy attracting much attention
and love from all who knew him. He
seemed perfectly we'll and unusually merry
and happy the day one week before his
death; but awakened about twelve that night
in spasms, which lasted until the following
afternoon. He never thoroughly rallied, but
was a most patient little sufferer untI'G God
in his goodness took him to be transplan,ed
from the earthly to heavenly gardens of love.
The funeral service was conducted at the
home from which his spirit took its fight,
Sunday at p. m. by Rev. Willie Bayles, in
most beautiful manner. The little form
surrounded by flowers of fragrance and
beauty was viewed by the many sympalhizing
friends and neighbors of the parents. The
writer heard the following remark from a
gentleman as he viewed the waxen image,
''rhis recalls Christ's words, Suffer little
children TO come unto me, and forbid them
not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. -
The burial took place Monday, at II a. m.
in the X. p. cemetery, Newburg. The
pail bearers were Master Ernest Larew,
Howard Fream, George purinton and Eddie
Hart, who with bowed heads and careful
steps, carried the earthly remains of the
departed loved one. Mr.. and Mrs. Bale,
and their two little girls Lillian and Mildred
have the sympathy of the entire communii,
in their bereavement.
My Lord hath need of these flowerels gay,
The Reaper said and smiled;
Dear tokens of the earth are they
Where he was once a child
Oh not in cruelty, not IN wrath
I The Reaper came that day;
Twas an angel visited the bare eaun
And took the flowers away.
A Light has gone from their household
a voice we loved is sliled;
a void is left in aching hearts
That never can be filled.
