Southern Argus, 1-24-1857
SAD AND FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Thursday last Armand, son of David F. Keeling, 
Esq., aged about seven years, while at play with another little boy on Main 
Street, in front of the China store of Messrs. Phillips & Co., accidently fell 
on the curb stone and received an internal injury, which, we regret to say 
resulted fatally. He lingered patiently till Saturday, when death came to the 
innocent sufferer's relief.

He was a child of extraordinary promise, exciting the brightest and fondest 
hopes of his parents. Remarkably intelligent for his age, affable in manner, 
and obliging in disposition, he had attraced the attention and gained the 
affection of others besides those of the now bereaved household where he was 
nurtured and trained. A beautiful flower has been withered-aye, an early 
spring bud, as it were, has wilted suddenly, just in the "strange beauty" of 
its opening charms-but to bloom again in eternal youth and unfading 
glory. "The dead shall be rasied."
