OBITUARY
ETTA LUELLA STRICKLAND died at the residence of her father, Mr. W. B. 
STRICKLAND, of Vernon, Ala. May 8th, 1888.  Her age was 12 years 3 months and 
17 days.  She suffered much during a period of about two weeks with pneumonia 
and congestion of the brain.	
“God placed a bund with our hands.
We nurtured it with pride.
And thought how fair that bud would be
When it had blossomed wide:
Our bud, our babe, how fair she was,
We watch her grow apace,
And deemed no blossom could compare
With her fair flower face.
But ere the light of baby hood,
Upon her brow grew dim,
The father bade an angel bring 
The fine young soul to him;
The hand that stilled our baby’s heart
With anguish wrung our own,
And yet we knew the Father’s rod
Is held by love alone.”
