Surnames: Hicks Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/mAB.2ACE/2547 Message Board Post: CROFTON On last Thursday a little girl, of Mrs. Jane HICKS, aged four years, was so badly scalded from the overturning of a kettle of boiling water that she died the following Saturday. Mrs. HICKS is a widow lady, living alone with two small children, and she has the sympathy of the entire community. While little Julia, the unfortunate child is gone to a better world, to bask in the effulgent light of a Savior's love, weep not, for Julia is at home whose builder and maker is God, and who has said: "Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Yes, she is gone from earth and earthly cares, but is up yonder only waiting to be the first to greet her little brother and dear mother across the River of Death, where there will be no parting. Little Julia, rest in peace. Peterkin. (Source: Earlington Bee, Thur., Feb. 1, 1894)
