OBITUARY MARIE MOSS
On Friday night, Feb. 25, 1821,
death came to the home of Mr. J. !
.Moss and took from them a very
sweet little girl Marie. Her clothes
caught on lite from the grate in the
afternoon, and before it was known,
she was burned so badly thai she
only lived it few hours. She would
have been l; years of age Friday had
ohe lived. She was the joy of foe
home, bright, sweet, and, affection
ate, 1 ut
"God needed one more angel child,
Amidst His shining hand.
And so He bent His loving smile
And clasped our darling's hand."
While little Mario has gone and
left us and her vacant place. in our
Sunday school almost breaks our
hearts, and we feel that her place
in the homo can never he filled, let
us remember that she has a happy
place in Heaven where she is happy
and whore we can go and ho with
her some day. May the Holy spirit
ever attend the bereaved loved ones
