Death Of Little Alton Glenn Allsbfook.

Repsrted to The Commonwealth
Born February IL, 1907, and died
May %, 1908.
On Thursday of last week about
seven o'clock death entered the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. C. Allsbrook and
robbed them of their darling baby.
Death was a great relief to him
after intense suffering for nine days,
but was sudden shock to the fami-
ly, for he was idolized by them all.
But grieve not, dear ones, for he is
at rest.
Nothing was too good for him, no
trouble to great; why then was this
life required? Why could it not
have been allowed US a few more
years? Oh, why should this heavy
blow fall upon such a fond, loving
father and mother?
Only few more years then "we'l
understand" for in the light of
eternity's revealing these things will
be explained. 1t is not ours to ques.
ton divine providence. The Lord
gave and the Lord taketh away.
Baby's left the cradle for the golden
shore,
Ger the silvery waters he has
flown;
Gone to join the angels, peaceful
evermore,
Empty is the cradle, babv's gone
