10 o'clock at the age of 8 years, 2 months and 4 days. Little Anthon suffered
3 months with Bright's Disease and other trouble. He bore his sickness with
all patience and would say, Jesus would give him sweet rest, and knew everything

Two little angels now on high. They hand in hand together roam. Two links
now bind us to the sky. Two fingers beckon us to come. Lord give us strength
our loss to bear and lead us in the Heavenly way. Oh! may we meet our children
there in realms of everlasting day. His aunt, Mrs. J. S. VANDUYNE
