Yesterday morning our neighbor, Mr. Frank Martinez, lost his only child, a 
bright little boy of 15 months who, a fortnight ago, seemed the very picture 
of health and strentgh (sic). We extend our sympathies to the afflicted 
parents, who are called on for the fifth time to mourn the loss of an only 
babe.


Died. - In Donaldsonville, La., at 7 o'clock A. M., on Friday, August 5, 1881,
EDWARD MARTINEZ, aged 15 months, only son of Frank Martinez and Rosalie Rodriguez.

The one bright cherub that we had
To cheer us through the day,
Has yielded to the touch of death
And from us passed away.

The little prattling, cheery tongue
That filled our hearts with joy,
Is still and quiet, silent now,
We have lost our darling boy.

He has gone up to the Savior
To enjoy his holy love,
Soon we, too, shall meekly follow,
To enjoy his holy love,
Soon we, too, shall meekly follow,
And will join our boy above.
