Gussie was born on the 12th day of August 1881. He was a sweet child, and the joy and the pride of a father and mother young in life. His sojourn upon this terrestrial ball was brief, and being brief ‘twas sweet to meet his God. “Here was a rose, a budding rose, Blasted before its bloom; Whose innocence did sweets disclose Beyond the flower’s perfume. To those who for his loss are grieved This consolation’s given— He’s from a world of woe relieved And blooms a rose in Heaven.” Parents, weep not, for the innocent babe which has so recently been consigned to the tomb is to-lay with our Heavenly Father and the angels, seeing more joy than all earthy joys combined. Gussie wears a crown in glory—Brighter far than burnished gold, And within his precious fingers, He a golden harp doth hold. Lang, Augustus Michael Lang Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, November 8, 1881 An infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Lang died near Woodsfield last week.
