FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, February 24, 1910 MEMORIAL In memory of little Harlan Leslie Byington. On the 14th day of this February, 1910, the death angel entered and stole from the loving embrace of fond parents their darling baby Harlan and bore him to the land where the lovely belongs. He was an angel sent from heaven to stir the fountain of a mother's deathless love. Though only seven short months did he linger with us, his little grave has cast a deep shadow over their home. No one can imagine the feelings of a mother but those who have had the portals of the grave suddenly closed between them and their baby. Wherever she goes she will see something that will remind her of Harlan, yet amid all her grief it will certainly be sweet to know she is the mother of an angel. The Savior said, "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God, and He took them into His arms, and laying His hands upon them blessed them." Then weep on fond friends, for little Harlan is safe in the arms of Jesus. The sweet little flower was plucked from earth, has been transplanted in the eternal city of our Lord, where it will bloom in immortal glory. Grieve not with hopeless sorrow, Jesus has felt your pain, He did thy lamb but borrow, He'll give him back again. L. D.
