From: August 18, 1883 Colfax Chronicle

Died

Dunn - At Montgomery, Grant Parish, La., at 8 a.m. on Sunday, the 12th day of
August, 1883, Rosa Dunn, aged four years, four months, and 7 days, daughter of
C. C. and M. B. Dunn.

Ah, little darling, it was hard to give you up.  You, around whose heart so
many tendrils of affection clung; you who was the joy of life, the sunshine of
the household, the sweet child, so loving and affectionate, possessed of so
many qualities that made you loveable.  Poor Papa sighs for his pet now, and
while I pen these lines my eyes are blinded.  Oh! how my heart throbs when
I recallhow you came to me so often, loving and gentle, begging me and
offering a kiss for pay, to carry you out and let you see the birds and
hear them sing, and find wild flowers.  Young as you were 'twas your delight -
Heavenly taste!  Death opens to us the hearts of friends in sympathy.

How eager the precious one was to go to Sunday School each Sabbath morning;
and now, oh! precious thought, we shall meet her in Heaven.  God bless the
precious darling!  Good Bye.
