Death Of an Infant.


Died at the home of his parents, near
Hughesville, Jan. 24th, ulto., JOSEPH
MILTON, infant son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter A. jameson, aged five months.
Little did we think on Sunday, when
we saw him for the last time alive,
with bright smile upon his innocent
brow that he would so soon be silent
in death. Bronchial Pneumonia de-
veloped during the night and his lit
tie soul soon winged its flight to its
eternal home,
Take comfort, dear parents, in the
knowledge that you have an angel in
Heaven, in company with little
brother who preceded him two short
years ago, watching and waiting for
your coming.
