In Memoriam

When blooming youth is snatched away
By death resistless hand,
Our hearts the mournful Tribute pay,
Which pity must demand.

The death angel visited the home of Rev. W.H. Graham on last Thursday
night and bore the spirit of John Graham, his son, from its earthly
habitation. Many hearts were saddened by this death, as his kind and
amiable disposition had won for him many friends, and too, he was so
young - only 18 summers had passed over his head.

The bereaved family of the deceased have the sympathy of the entire
community. May his family not look upon him as dead, but to think of him
as being in eternal bliss, preparing a grand reception for them later
on; to think of him as being in fadeless chaplets, witherless gardens,
and setless suns. Yesterday he was with you, tomorrow you will be with
him. The yesterday is but a moment, the tomorrow is a long eternity. May
we all make preparations to meet him. "Beyond yon blue walkin [?] Where
all is peace and love." - A Friend - Meansville, Aug. 15, '92
