DIED – In the town of Chilton, on Sunday, Dec. 23rd, 1877, Josephine Evangeline, daughter of William B. and Mary Minaghan, aged three months and 7 days.
Our rosebud of promise has withered away—
How cheerless and sad is our heart;
‘Twas a peerless exotic, and day after day,
With untiring care, we watched it decay,
And grieved that with it we must part.
Yet faith, the dark valley of death doth illume;
And cheers up the spirit cast down,
And says, though our Josie be laid in the tomb,
Yet her glorified spirit in unfading bloom,
Shall be a gem in the Savior’s crown.
