Annie Lou Frey

On November 23rd the immortal spirit of Little Annie Lou
Frey, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Frey, of the
Fifth ward, returned to its home in Heaven from whence it
had come only a few short months ago to make its home for
just a short while on this earth below. She was just 11
months and 1 day old when God took her, but during those
few months she had so entwined herself about the hearts of
all the embers of the home, that she was idolized by them
all. To the heartbroken father and mother and the weeping
brothers and sisters we offer our tenderest and most
heartfelt sympathy, for we know from bitter experience the
sacrifice they have been called upon to make.
This little one was loaned you for a while to give you deeper
insight into and a clearer vision of what Heaven really is,
and to bind you with one more strong link to it. Heaven is 
now nearer and dearer to these sorrowing ones than ever 
before, for they know their loved one is there "safe in the 
arms of Jesus". While here on earth, she was "as a living 
jewel dropped unstained from heaven."

You scarce could think so small a thing
 Could leave a loss so large:
Her little light such a shadow fling
 From dawn to sunset's marge.
In other springs our life may be
 In bannered bloom unfurled,
But never, never match our wee
  Annie Lou of all the world.
