Middle Ga Argus – Week of May 12, 1881
Ed. Childs

It is with a heavy heart, that the  pen stroke, has to announce that another 
home, that of Mr. Ed. Childs, is crushed beneath a weight of grief.

As we nearer the home of our friend on last Friday night, the low sobs of 
parents and friends told that the hopes of future years had been wrecked.  

All is explained in three words, “baby is dead”. A daisty form still and cold, 
eyes that yesterday were bright as skies of June dropped to night beneath white 
lips that no voice can ever rise again.

Too soft hand whose rose leaf fingers were wont to wander loving around 
mother’s neck and face folded quietly across an innocent breast.

Soft lips accustomed to rippling laughter, sweet as woodlands, brooks falling 
gay as thrill of forest bird, to night unresponsive to kiss or call of love.

Little “Sheppie” too pure for earth has been called away, the patter of his 
little feet forever hushed.

Little garments that had been neatly folded away for his comfort are turned 
about by one with an aching heart, to prepare the sweet form for the place 
where the tiny mound is to be made.
