"On the 26th of October Eliza Katie Bursk, daughter of Mary Nixon Bursk and granddaughter of Eliza, became ill with scarlet fever. When the child died on November 25, she was 7 years, 5 months and 12 days old. Her grandmother wrote of the loss in her diary: ‘Oh Katie, Katie, Katie, how can I give you up? My heart is torn with grief. Oh, that aching void in my poor heart That can find no relief. Only the exception of meeting you again in that heavenly home, where I trust you are basking in the smiles of your beloved Savior, who has said, Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven…."
