IN MEMORIAM.
To the memory of Essie, little son of Nelson and Mary Bozarth, who died April 5, 1882, aged 5 years, 5 months and 18 days.
Dearest Essie, thouh hast gone
To the realms of endless bliss.
No more be heard thy sweet voice,
Nor be felt that good-night kiss.
He has left us, our darling,
Left us for the home above;
Left to join the angel band,
Which is in the land of love.
So soon did death appear,
To claim him as his own;
So soon did God summon
The spirit to its home.
By and by we shall meet thee,
When this work on earth is done;
But, we never shall forget thee,
Till death the victory has won.
A. M.
