B. Urquhart, of Tyler, died at the residence of his maternal grandfather, near Troupe, Smith county, Texas, Sept. 18, 1886. The dear little fellow lived in this world only eighteen months, one third of which was in sickness and suffering. He wasted away until he was but a skeleton— his little face but little more than a pair of luminous eyes. He has been "taken from the evil to come"—safe in the arms of Jesus. His little body sleeps in the cemetery in this city. The bereaved parents have the sympathies of a large circle of friends. Pastor. Tyler, Texas.
