Card of thank s
smeere thanks for kindness and sympathy (lifting their babe’s lagt illness, death, and funeral. \ v IW MEMORY OF ’'• ' little Nettie, infant daughter of Arthur and Ida Kline, aged ojie year, three month and eleven days. Died March 29, 1896. Baby Nettie you have left us And your loss we deeply mourn. For we miss your loved caresses That so dear to us had grown. And we miss the baby actions And those eyes so dark and bright That Grim Death has closed so tightly, Nevermore to see the light. And yeur eyes closed in repose Will never witness cares nor fears, Never will be dimmed with sorrow, Never will be damp with tears. But the eyes of those who miss you Will be dimmed for many days For your chatter and your prattle Will be missed in many ways. Though gone she’s lost to earth alone; Above, she will be found Amidst the stars and near the throne. Which babes like her surround. Look upward and your child you’ll see F.xed in her blest abode. What parent would not childless be To give a child to God? Mrs. W. C. Belcher.
