Breckinridge County News; 8/23/1899
OBITUARY

Death visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Gross Sunday morning, Aug, 13th, and
called for little Mary Eliza, aged three months.  Dear friends, I know how
impossible it is to silence your grief with words.  The heart pleads for utterance
in tears, and let it speak thus.  We bow in sorrow at the taking of your little one,
feeling that while the rip red fruit may be gathered, it seems cruel that the bud
should be taken before it has even opportunity to unfold its blossom.  But in nature
fruits fail, and so do blossoms and buds.  In the ways of kind nature it is perhaps
best, and in the taking from our arms of this little one, we will try to accept the
cross and bear it believing that the bud will yet blossom and bear fruit in the
angel land whither the fruit of this pure child has so early flown.
