From Burlington Weekly Hawkeye January 17, 1863:
DIED: Jan 10th, Frank Wilson, only son of Jacob and Sarah Leffler, aged 2 years and 6 months:
"I want to be an angle,
And with the angles stand,
A crown upon my forehead,
A harp within my hand,
And there before my Savior,
So glorious and so bright,
I'd join the hevenly chorus,
And praise Him day and night."
