Clay County Watchman
Sacred to the memory of little Arthur the baby boy of Mr. J. W. and Frances 
Hooton who died on the 30th of Nov. 1890 alter a short illness, age 2 years. 
Alasa how fresh in the memory of friends is and relative is the recollection of 
the loveliness and innocence of the lovely departed. All that was mortal is 
changed now and clouded forever, but how great should better comfort of 
relatives and in the well-grounded assurance that the good Shepherd who earth 
for his flock" has taken this gentle lamb into his own fold Father and mother, 
your child has gone to him who said ''suffer little children to come unto me." 
We know not how soon our time may come. Sweet Arthur is today beyond this realm 
of tears, he is living in the presence of God and the blessed angels of Heaven. 
No doubt his spirit is hourly hovering around father, mother, brother, and 
sister wooing them to follow in the footsteps of his dear Savior that when 
called from this life they may be with him in dory. Wherefore should any, even 
his sorely stricken parents, mourn as do those without hope. "It is well with 
the child" and we who miss him here on earth after a little while can join him 
in that better world where parting is never known and where tears are never 
shed. Julia M. Wood.
