Died .In Madison Township, May 27, 1880, of convulsions, infant daughter of John Thomas, aged six years.

Parents, look up from thy present grief:
We, like you, for two loved ones mourn
Life is a pilgrimage painful and brief,
Soon may we join our loved ones flown,

We have other dear ones left behind,
Then, let not our spirits be wholly bowed,
Let us e'er be ready in spirit and mind
To meet Clara, Lilla, Earl and Edna beyond the clouds.
