mates gathered to take farewell
look at their little friend paled in
death. She was IA years, 2 months
old. Itseems as though the whole
family is doomed to be burned.
About two years ago her father.
Ellis Hsmbriok, was burned to
death in hotel conaagrstion at
Point Pleasant
Saturday morning they started
to the Hambyiok graveyard some
twelve miles away where the de-
ceased funeral was preached by
Rev. wolf. Six young maidens
bore her to the grave where she
was laid in her narrow home to
await the Judgment. AS they laid
her to rest the choir sang that.lyric
air will There be Any Stars in
My Crown" There is no doubt
that many bright stars will bedeck
little Mery's crown. As Rev. Wolf
spoke of that home prepared above
for Mary to dwell he said pointing
to her, "she has no use for her body
now her spirit has winged it's fight
to that immortal land of bliss"
There will be no maddened flames
to enrap her tender form nor parcn
her rosy lips. There will be no
parting there. no heart achee. sor-
row or pain. May the hand of love,
kindness and charity be given to
the widowed mother and orphans
and that burning passion of a
Christian's love be with them so
when they are called TO die they
will be prepared to meet dear Mary
in the skies where parting will be
no more.
IN MEMORY
The sun shone brightly one morning
clear,
And the birds were cantfng their Tyr
ic cmoan,
FRY flames enrapped our poor Mary
And took her from our cottage home.
No more the sad cries of our darling
child,
Will be heard imploring for aid,
Nor the fry flames DER her form grow
wild,
In the grave she rests where no sor-
row invade.
Though father met with the sAmesad
fate,
Poor Mary is only gone to meet him;
He's waiting for her at heavens gate
Where angels win watt her to greet
him.
Still mother is left with two children
to weep,
The loss of little Mary dear;
And fathers at rest in his grave asleep
Who will help mammals burdens to
to bear.
There is one in heaven with father
