OBITUARY: Ethel Grace Roberts, 1882-1884, Mitchell County, Iowa




                         Ethel Grace Roberts
         
MITCHELL:

Ethel Grace, daughter of George and Mary Roberts, died very suddenly of
cholera infanutm, September 18 [1884].  Two physicians were in attendance,
and loving friends did all in their power for the little sufferer.   Ethel
was a sweet, lovable child. She was two years old in June.  The family have
the sympathy of many friends, and may the thought that their darling is
safe in the "upper fold" cheer them in this dark hour.

          The loved are lost.  Why do we call them lost?
          Because we miss them from our onward road.
          God's unseen angel o'er our pathway crossed.
          Looked on us all, and loving them the most,
          Straightway relieved them from life's weary load.

                                       Gath
