Again were are sadly reminded of the fact that death's sad messenger respects neither age nor station in life. the mandates of an All wise Providence govern our sojourn on earth and decree the moment when we shall relinquish our earthly interests and don and the celestial robes of that have of restful peace where trials and sorrow are no more. Loving hearts are ever burdened with grief when a loved one is called from our midst, whether it be the faltering steps of the aged or the tottering steps of the infant which are halted/ but such parting seems even more sad when the departed one is but entering upon the years of useful young manhood, with his breast filled with hopes and aspirations for a continued sojourn amount us.
