OBITUARY
  Myrtle Traylor, aged 5 years daughter of Bro. and Sister T. E. Traylor, of Young,
Texas, died Monday, Sept. 17, 1900. Little Myrtle was the idol and pet of the 
family. There will ever linger sweet memories of her pure, sweet-spirited 
innocent life. Jesus has gathered another jewel to himself, that will make heaven
brighter by its presence. Weep not, dear parents, she has gone to a far-away clime
beyond the stars, where there is neither sorrow nor weeping, nor any more pain,
where God shall wipe away all tears. We laid her little body in Lake's Chapel
cemetery to await resurrection morn, but the spirit returned to God who gave it.
Farewell, little darling, but only for a little while. Soon loving parents will
meet her, on that beautiful shore, where parting is no more. She is safe in her
father's house above, in the place prepared by her Savior's love.
