Southern Banner 19 Dec 1844 p 3
Died, in this place, on Monday, 16th inst., at 2 o'clock P.M. after a short
illness of two days, Sarah Caroline, second daughter of William L. Mitchell,
Esq., aged 4 years, 10 months and 2 days. 

This lovely little girl had been suffering with a cold, in common with several
of her sisters and brothers, for some little time, but seemed to be as little,
perhaps the least affected of any.  On Saturday, 14th, she became quite sick,
but not sufficiently to alarm her parents, until at 8 o'clock, P. M., when she
was seized with a spasm-from which moment, she continued to grow worse, until
her decease.

To attempt consolation to a sorrowing parent is mockery.  None can appreciate a
parent's grief, who have not felt a parent's loss.  There is a "balm in Gilead,"
however, whose soothing qualities her bereaved parents know full well, and it
must afford comfort to feel, that their amiable little girl has gone to the
bosom of that God, who requires them to humble themselves to His decrees, and
become even as she was, to be acceptable to Him. 

"Early, bright, transient, chaste as morning dew, She sparkled, was exhaled and
went to Heaven."
