Jessie Imogene Jones

Ebensburg, of diphtheria, Jessie Imogene, only daughter of Clinton R. and Emma 
Jones, aged 1 year, 6 months and 8 days.

  "'Tis not a dread for her unknown fate,
  That causes these bitter tears,
  'Tis the blight that has fallen upon our hearth,
  That will darken our hearts for years;
  We weep for the prattling childish voice,
  The little pattering feet,
  The smiling lips and the dancing eyes,
  That no more our coming greet,
  For the vacant seat beside the board,
  That shall never again be filled,
  For all the sweet hopes our hearts have borne,
  That are now forever stilled!
  We miss her at morning, at noon, at night,
  We yearn for her even in sleep,
  The gladness of earth has gone with her,
  Surely we well may weep."
