daughter of William Ewell and Mittie (Longshore) Boyd
"The LaFayette Sun" - November 11, 1908:
In Memory.
Lines dedicated to the memory of little Diamond Boyd, the four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Boyd, who died Oct. 1908, at her home near Marcoot, Ala.
She was laid to rest in the Antioch Cemetery on the day following her death, Rev. E. M. Stewart conducting the funeral services.
Little Diamond had suffered only a week, when God called her to a better world, and now...
No earthly piercing crown of thorns
Will ever pierce her little brow,
No starless night, no sunless morn
Will ever greet her now.
For ere the touch of sin could blight
Or sorrow’s shadows cloud her way.
God kindly took her from earth’s night
To Heaven’s eternal day.
We know that the pearly gates of Heaven
For her had swung ajar;
That she had heard the angel strains
From that beautiful land afar.
Little earth bud blooms in Heaven,
Little blue eyes weep no more,
Little feet have crossed the river,
And wander with Jesus on the golden shore.
May God bless and comfort the stricken family.
