She was so gentle and kind, tender, loving and affectionate, she had won such a warm place in the hearts of papa and momma. On 27 September 1899, the death angel came into our home and wafted the spirit of our beloved daughter on its wings of light to its home beyond the stars, there to dwell with the God who gave it. She had been with us but a few weeks and her sweet girlish ways had won the affections of the entire family, and had almost become the idols of us all. Now, her place made vacant has brought a depth of sorrow to our souls. We can only look into the future where we will again meet her in that home of the blessed, where the God of the righteous will permit us to dwell together and sing with the angels of eternal glory. Yes, we will know her there, and may her loving husband make preparations to join her there where parting shall be no more, and where they can dwell together in the mansions of God. We want to thank our neighbors and friends they have shown us during the short sickness of our dear daughter Laura. May God bless them to the fullness of our desires for their kindness. From her affectionate father and mother by the ties of marriage to our dear boy. J.M. Purvis.
