Friday - 27 January 1888
----Died, in Bedford, on Saturday morning, January 21st, at 9 o'clock, Mamie [Mary Eliza], infant daughter of Harley and Mary [Ann Tucker] Greenlee, of typhoid pneumonia, aged 1 year and 8 months. Funeral services were conducted at the residence, on Monday, by Rev. Scott.
On a beautiful time, when heaven's gates were
ajar,
As a ladder of blossoms lent up against a star;
Down its rose-clustered rounds, so dewey and
sweet,
Through rare-scented vapors, strayed two little
feet.
A face so angelic, smiled up to the skies,
Then turned upon earth its soft, dove-like eyes,
And the delicate hands, with the sunbeams
played,
As the baby swung down into earth's light and
shade.
The bright little cherub was but loaned us
awhile,
To gladden our lives with its innocent smile;
It was set in our hearts, like some precious
gem---
Our dainty, wee blossom's fallen off from the
stem.
Again were the beautiful gates left ajar,
And the stairway of flowers shone out from
afar.
Where the dew-drops scatter in musical spray
The immortals have led our sweet angel away.
