Funeral was held today at one o’clock. Lines on the death of baby Grace, daughter of Frank and Ida Hynes aged eight months, who died Feb. 16, 1897, after a few hours illness: Sitting in your shadowed chamber Weak with weeping, pale with pain, Longing for the darling treasure Never to brighten home again Let your poor heart take some comfort Sister dear, so sad and sweet in the thought that early aching Ne'er can reach those little feet. How the winter winds are busy, Piling snowdrifts high and higher; Entering through the broken windows, Hovels where there is no fire Little children cold and hungry Vainly seek some sheltering arm But the one you love so dearly Evermore is safe from harm. Now she roams the flowery meadows, Wanders by the living stream, Revels in eternal beauties Far beyond a mortal's dream For the Savior, far more loving, From His white throne bending down, Lifted up your spotless darling To her bright, immortal crown.
