Beloved son of Gertrude and Joseph Roe. Charlie lived to the tender age of 7 years, 11 months and 9 days.
Cause of death "brain fever".
"Today within the lonely home
There is a little vacant chair,
And from thy bosom has been torn
A little form that nestled there.
Not long you kept the tender plant
That God had sent but had not given,
For Charlie was a flower but sent
To bud on earth and bloom in heaven.
His little eyes are closed in death,
His prattling voice forever hushed.
And when he closed this fleeting breath
Long cherished hopes of thine were crushed.
Dry thy sad tears, dispel thy gloom,
Nor bow thy head in vain regret,
'Tis but the casket in the tomb,
The gem that filled it sparkles yet.
Then mother do not wish him back
In this unfriendly world to roam,
But bless the hand that gave and took
And calmly say "Thy will be done"
