Death
Collins Ark, Oct. 20th, 1894
The angel of death has visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Weatherall and claimed for its victim little Alma the idol of their home. But God, who gave to them the precious child, was pleased to snatch her away in His own good time and pleasure, from this sin-smitten and disordered world, and thus deliver her from its toils and snares. Therefore, dear brother and sister weep not at your earthly loss, which is your offsprings heavenly gain. Our Savior has said of little children, "Of such is the kingdom
of heaven." I know that it is natural for parents to mourn the loss of their children, yet would admonish all to try to be reconciled to the providential dealings of God. This little cherub had been lent them for only a short time, being only four months and one week old. Little Alma was born June the 10th 1894, and died Oct. 17th 1894, her disease was
bronchitis and she lived only a few days.
O, parents; weep not for your darling.
Think not that your baby is dead,
T'is clad in the robes of an angel,
By angels t'is guarded and led.
Baby's Aaunt. G. E. W.
