Gilliland - Herman
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 18 February, 1898
Herman Gilliland, the 3 year old son of John and Lou Gillian, died Feb. 8, 1898. He leaves a father, mother, brother and sister, besides a great circle of friends to mourn his death. In his home he was a bright and shining star, the pride of his friends, but now he is gone. We must not weep: He is watched over by a loving Father. We will still cherish an unfading love of this tender flower until we meet in that life where parting words will ne’er be spoken and where tears are only tears of joy. On account of the child dying of diphtheria there were no public funeral services. Interment was at Indian Creek Cemetery Thursday morning. - thanks to S
