All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/pa/blair/ http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm Death of a Child. At 10 o'clock on Sunday morning Helen Clark Witherow, aged 2 months and 27 days, daughter of C. T. and Annie Witherow, died at the home of the parents, No. 1406 Eleventh street. The little girl was a most interesting child and its short life came to an end apparently without pain and its passage from this world to the brighter and better one was peaceful. In their poignant grief the parents will have the sympathy of all their friends. Although such partings are always sad yet they are blessed in the assurance that the pure soul of their little daughter is now with Him who said: "Suffer little children to come unto Me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment in Fairview cemetery. Altoona Tribune, Altoona, Pa., Thursday, January 13, 1887, page 3
