Such was the hope of Mrs. Cora (CARMICHAEL) DAGLEY. Cora has gone. The summons has called her. She, although in the bloom of life, has answered the bidding of one that shapes the destiny of all, both great and small. She had scarcely passed the twentieth milestone and seemed to be in the best of healh, but a few hours, she was no more. She has left, not only, a widowed mother, a brother, a sister and husband, but two little ones, a boy of two and one half years old and a little tiny girl that had seen the light only two days when its mother was called away. Yet it may be that death gives us all there is of worth to life. Perhaps if those we fondly embrace could never die that love would wither from the earth and all would rather live and love where death is king, than have eternal life where love is not. To the bereaved husband, mother, sister and brother the sympathy of all who knew her goes out unrestrained. If all those to whom she had spoken a kind word or done a loving deed were to return to her last resting place and there place a rose upon her grave, she would sleep beneath a wilderness of flowers. From the wondrous tree of life buds, and blossoms fall with the ripened fruit and is common bed of earth, patriarchs and babes sleep side by side. When the time shall come that each and all shall drop from the tree of life and fall into that dreamless sleep which kisses down forever their eye-lids still. May it be said of them as it is often been and all the loved ones gone. “Speak no more of their renown,” Lay your earthly fancies down, And in the vast cathedral leave them. God accepts them, Christ receives them. — NOTES—RLJ: DEATH RECORDS OF GREENE COUNTY, INDIANA, Health Department, East Spring Street, Bloomfield, IN, Death Record Book R-5, Page 63: Cora DAGLEY, born in Indiana, age 20 years 7 months 24 days, died 28 Mar 1900 in Center Township, Buried 29 Mar 1900 in Carmichael Cemetery; Father—Thomas J.
