[Obit for Bethel Willard s/o Franklin Hall and Annie Elizabeth Seale Willard.]


The Fairfield Recorder
June 22, 1894 edition 


from Ward Prairie
June 20th 1894

The angel of death visited the home of Hall and Annie Willard on the night of
the 17th inst. and took from them their only child, 9 months old and 
transplanted it to a purer and brighter home to dwell forevermore, another one 
in the angel band.  Darling Bethel we miss you, and only God knows how much we
miss the kisses so lovingly given, and the sweet smiles of her welcome.  Weep
not papa and mamma, your precious one has only gone home.  Just one more link 
to bind us to Heaven.  Soon we will clasp our babe in fondest embrace, for life 
is short at the best.
