Again a voice is heard calling, "Suffer the little ones to come unto me and forbid them not." - St. Johns 10:10

Little Melbourne Ford Clark, only child of Adam and May Clark, died May 19th, 1887, of throat disease, 
aged 6 months and 19 days. The Funeral services were held at their residence on Mill street, 
at 10 A. M., Rev. J. P. Islip officiating.

Once we had a fragrant blossom,
Full of sweetness, full of love,
But the angles came and plucked it,
For the beuteous realms above.

Tearfully we lowly laid him,
'Neath the grass that grows so green;
And the form we loved so dearly,

Oh, my darling, may we meet thee
In the joyous realms above,
Gladly we will haste to greet thee,
All our hearts aflame with love.   Eva

Paper unknown, the last name should read Clarke.
