DIED - Eleanor Agnes [MOW], only child of Enoch H. and Mary F. MOW, born October 27, 1881, died January 17, 1888 of scarlet fever.
Nellie was a beautiful little girl, a universal favorite of a lovable and amiable disposition and the light of the household. Two little boys had gone before and now her father's house is left unto him desolate.
She died in my arms and I can never forget the look of ineffable peace which settled on her face as death, the consoler, relieved her from the severe suffering which she had endured for three weeks. The stricken household were left entirely to themselves. Their neighbors being very much afraid of the disease, but we cannot help thinking, "If we benefit our fellowmen, we should not simply be partners of their joy when they have joy, but sharers of their sorrow. True human sympathy is made manifest when we weep with those who weep."
