Matte Lydon, second Oldest: son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. M. P. Lydon, was born in
Cresco, Iowa, July II, 1903, and died at
his home in Cresco, April 10, 1916, from
stroke of lightning. He was in the
seventh grade in school and was posses
sed with love for education and re-
ligion that if he had lived might have
carried him through the highest walks
in life. Loved by his teacher, his
schoolmates and his neighbors and re-
markable for his obedience and devo-
ton to his parents, and above all for
his kindness to his younger brothers and

His funeral was one Of the very larg-
est ever brought into the Assumption

Words cannot express but we hope

kindness and hospitality bestowed on
US by our good neighbors and friends
in the death of our dear little son and
brother. May God give reward, that 8
beyond our power.
MIR. and Mrs. M. P. Lydon
and Family.
In the Holy week OF Easter,
At the closing of the day,
We gave up our little Matte,
To the Angels far away.
Just dozen years VI sunshine,
He drew round our happy home,
But his sun has set forever,
And we are called upon to mourn.
We will miss him In the morning,
And at noon time of the day,
When the stars adorn the heaven
We will kneel and for him pray.
That wen meet him up in heaven,
From sin and sorrow free,
To part no more with Matte.
But join him in his glee.
