Paith, Three Children Paith
Source: Spirit of Democracy March 20, 1883
Since our last letter, death has reigned in our community and taken away three of Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel Paith’s children, all died of scarlet fever. The remains were interred in the Potts Cemetery. The unexpected death of these little loved ones who have gone across the Jordan of death, calls for a tribute to their memory from one who has known them well. They were bright and lovely children. The family conclave is broken, but Jesus has said, “suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of heaven,” and now they are waiting the reunion on the celestrial shore.
Children, like the early flower
Often droop and lose their bloom
Pass away in childhood’s home,
To the dark and silent tomb
Bodies laid beneath the sod.
Spirits gone away to God.
.
God, will gather them again;
On his garden they will grow
On the green and lovely plain
Where the crystal waters flow,
Never more to lay their heads,
Faintly on the cold earth bed. GUY
