He came to gladden the hearts of his parents for only a short time until God saw fit to take him again. He leaves to mourn his early death grand parents, father, mother, three sisiters, Annabel, Jessie and Bertha and many other relatives and friends. When we see the precious blossom that we tendered with such care; Rudely taken from our bosom, How our hearts almost despaired. Round the little grave we linger, Till the sun is setting low; Feeling all our hopes have vanished, With the flower we cherished so. COOK Mrs. Joseph C.
