******************
    October 6, 1880	                                    
******************

  Carrie Blanche Hamilton, the eldest child of George T. and Lizzie 
Hamilton, of this place, died suddenly on Saturday night last.  Her 
illness was of brief duration, and no serious fears were entertained 
of its fatal termination until within a few hours of the enterance 
of the black-robed angel of death.
Carrie had just reached the most interesting period of young girlhood 
and was of a quiet but attractive and lovable nature.  All who knew 
her were her friends, and scores of hearts are sad and sore to-day 
over the loss or an affectionate and true-hearted playmate and 
associate.  The loss of the parnets and their sorow in their bereavement 
none can measure who have not passed through similar  sad afflictions: 
but it may be a consolation to them to know that in their hour of woe 
many hearts are full of sympathy for them and others' tears join theirs 
in this sad time of mourning.

 ******************

Many of us were sadly surprised and shocked on Sabbath morning last, to 
hear the announcement made that the funeral service of Carrie Hamilton 
would take place from the home of her patents on Tuesday, October 9, at 
2 o'clock p.m. Carrie B. Hamilton, oldest daughter of George T. and Lizzie 
Hamilton, was born in Indiana, August 10, 1873, and died in the same place 
on Saturday evening, October 6, 1888, at about ten o'clock, of nervous 
prostration. Her illness was of short duration and until within a few 
hours of her death, it was not supposed that it would end fatally.  Two 
weeks age she was in school, apparently in as good health as her companions; 
no one suspecting that she was soon to be called away.
That she was dearly loved and deeply mourned is evident fron the sad faces 
and subdued voices all around us.  A lovely girl of quiet and unassuming 
manners, she endeared herself to us all. We grieve that her sunny smile 
is gone forever, but it is not all sorrow.  She was taken at the close of 
her bright and happy childhood, when life had been all sunshine and delight 
knowing nothing of the burdens to be borne by her young friends who are 
left behind, and has entered into that perfect life beyond.

"In the cold, moist earth we laid her,
 When the forest cast the leaf; 
And we wept that one so lovely  
Should have a life so brief.
Yet, not unmeet it was , that one
Like this young friend of ours,
So gentle and so beautiful.
Should perish with the flowers."
