A Baby's Obituary

Nov 22, 1899

Marguerite Kettle

On Friday morning last, the Angel, Death, entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kettle, of the valley, and claimed their youngest child, Marguerite, at the tender age of 15 months, and carried the little soul across the mystic river to its Heavenly home. The little one suffered the ravages of pneumonia for two weeks, and, although tenderly cared for by loving ones who did all in their power for her, God had willed that little Marguerite should be added to His precious jewels and took her to dwell with Him, where we are told she is not forever lost to those who loved her. The funeral took place from the parent's residence on Sunday at 2 o'clock p.m., and the lifeless little body was followed by sorrowing friends to Ula cemetery and there consigned to earth. In this their sad hour the bereaved ones have our heartfelt sympathy.


This poor little girl, so young
