Nora, eldest daughter of Alexander C. and Elizabeth C. Wensel, aged 8

  The funeral services will be held at the residence of the parents, 
Fourth avenue, third door below Fifth street, Friday afternoon, at 2;30

    In van the mother urged her love,
      Death's mission knew no stay.
    "I take your child," he said, "above
      To show yourself the way."
    "Would not you like, then, little Pet,
      "To go to that sweet home
    Where all God's own shall surely meet,
      All Christ's redeemed shall come?"
    A smile lit up her little face,
      As gently she replied,
    "Yes, mother, by your hand I'll hold
      And enter at your side."
