    1. [IRISH-NYC] IA Deaths NYC June 6, 1857
    2. Irish-American June 6, 1857 Deaths in New York City Died, on the 25th day of May last, at the residence of his parents, Samuel, the dearly beloved son of Dr. PURCELL, No. 102 Madison Street. He was in his 12th year, which, had he been permitted to live, would have been completed on the 10th of August next. But in the mysterious dispensation of Divine Providence it was otherwise decreed, and he was suddenly called to a better world. Thus cut off "like a flower" in his early childhood, his loss falls on his heart stricken parents as a mere calamity which only their trust in Him can alleviate to whom a Divine will - merciful even when apparently most severe - we must all bow. They have the sympathy of mourning friends, to whom the deceased had endeared himself by his many amiable qualitites. Gentle, affectionate, full of promise, his early death reminds us that: "Whom God loves die young."
