The Cherokee Advance    16 Oct 1885 p 3
Asleep in Jesus
Friday last the lifeless remains of Raymond Bayard, eight-months old infant 
of Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Turk, were laid to rest, with fitting and appropriate 
ceremonies by Revs. McClure and Speer, in the town cemetery.  It had 
suffered very greatly for the past few months, as the facial contortions and 
almost incessant writhing of the little one had indicated.  But it now rests 
in the arms of Jesus and beckons parents, brothers and sisters and friends 
"over the river."  There it is safe and beyond the temptations and 
allurements of this vain, sinful world.  May we all be as sure of a peaceful 
rest as we know this little one is!  We deeply sympathize with the bereaved 
ones.
"I take these little lambs," said he,
"And lay them in my breast,
Protection they shall find in me,
In me be ever blest.
"Death may the bands of life unloose,
But can't dissolve my love, 
Millions of infant soul compose
The family above."
