Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, January 21, 1904

David Dawson Howard.
  Once again the angel of death has swept through the home taking in
its flight a loved one and leaving that home over shadowed with sorrow. 
Little David Dawson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Howard, age four years, 
died Jan. 5th, 1904, at his home in Gee's Bend. He was a sweet 
attractive child ever ready to mind Mama and Papa. He not only won the 
love of the family but every one who chance to see him loved him. He 
was sick only a few hours with Membranous croup but suffered intense 
agony while it lasted.
  Dear parents, he was only lent to you these four short years to 
brighten your home and give you a glimpse of what heaven will be in 
the end, it was a little bud that was not permitted to bloom until it 
was transplanted in the fair garden above. To his heart broken parents 
and grand parents, I will say grieve not for ere long the pearly gate 
will be open and you will find your little David awaiting you there, 
where there will be no more weeping and where the skies are always 
clear.
  Suffer little children to come unto me for such is the kingdom of 
heaven. May the blessings of the Lord rest upon the bereaved parents. 
Sincerely,         A Friend.
