She was all they had. She was so bright, so sweet, so pure! God only sent her on earth to stay a little while. But while she stayed she was all her mother's joy and comfort. Her bright eyes and her sweet smiles are seen on earth no more. Her mother's heart is vacant; she has no baby on earth to love and when she looks around her home no baby voice does she hear. Her baby voice on earth is silent but in heaven she is singing with angels and calling home father and mother asking them to meet her in glory. Father and mother weep not for your darling child for she is now in the Savior's arms who said "Suffer little children to come unto Me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." 25 Feb 1893--CLARK CLATTER--Nat Southerland who lived here several years ago, returned Saturday bringing with him a little wife, Miss Sallie Collier of Howard county.
