"Death on the 10th again visited our neighborhood Mr. Andrew Bonner being its
victim.  He leaves many relatives and friends to mourn his untimely death.
Deeply and sincerely we sympathize with Mr. And Mrs. Bonner in their double
affliction, they having buried their little baby only a few days ago.  The
death of our young friend has indeed cast gloom and sadness over the hearts of
our entire community, he being the first missing link among a large circle of
relatives and friends who have known and loved each other since childhood.
Since our friend has gone from our mists but in pleasant memories of past he
will ever be remembered and whilst we grieve for his absence our consolation
be:
  "There is a scene where spirits blend
    Where friend holds intercourse with friend;
    Though sundered far, thy face we meet
    Around one common must we seat" - REX
