On August 14th, the death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. S.J. Hill and took from them their darling baby, and carried it to Heaven to be with Jesus.
All was done by the loving friends and doctors to save him, but Jesus said “Come up higher and be with me and my lambs.” After the funeral was preached by the pastor, the burial took place in the family burying ground.
There was a large crowd of loving friends and relatives present at the funeral and burial. May God’s blessings rest with the parents and loving friends.
He was 11 months and 23 days old when death claimed him. “Sleep on loved one, and take thy rest. Lean thy head on thy Savior’s breast. We loved thee well, but Jesus loved thee best.”
Goodnight!
By a Friend—G.A.S.
