The Enterprise, Jan. 28, 1887
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
  Died, 13th of January, of meningitis, LITTLE CLAUDE, youngest child of John
J. and Elizabeth Thompson, aged about 9 years. She was not only the pet of the
household, but also of the entire neighborhood. So gentle, so kind, so 
affectionate, she was the favorite of all with whom she came in contact. Young
as she was, it seemed that her wohle delight was to make others happy. Oh! how
we all shall miss her fairy-like form, her ringing laugh, her kind loving words.
No more shall we meet her in the school room, on the playground, or around the
fire-side. She is gone from us forever; but our loss is her eternal gain. Let
us try to meet her in the "great beyond" where there is no sickness, no pain,
no sorrow, no death.
That dear young head which languished,
Like the flowers drooping down,
High above the stars in glory
Bears a little angel's crown.
