A. and F. E. Meritt, aged five years two and a half months. Yes, Little Mary Lou is dead! The news falls heavy on all who knew her. She was a remarkable child and attracted the attention of all who saw her, by her intelligence, sweet and lady like manners, and her affectionate disposition. She was a great favorite. In her, “Death has chosen a shining mark.” She seemed too good and promising for earth and God has taken her home to Heaven to dwell among the Angels there. Farewell, dear Little Mary. May those who love thee here meet thee there forever. J. G. R.
