REED - On Sunday morning, Nov. 5, 1871, of scarlet fever, Nannie, 
daughter of Harry and Mary Reed, aged two years and 10 months.
She bloomed as blooms a flower, 
Breathing sweet odors round about our way,
And lovelier grew as day 
Beamed on her dawning hour.
Ashes and dust are laid
Upon our altars low,
Yet, dimly, through our falling tears we see
Our treasured one with Thee,
Is safely sheltered now.
