Rock Springs Miner no. 21 May 17, 1894
LITTLE EMMA GONE.
On Friday morning last Little Emma, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Overy, slept peacefully away. She had been ailing for thirteen weeks and was thought to be on a fair way to recovery, when her soul took its flight, to the one who gave it.
Emma was 11 years of age, one of twins, and was a great favorite in the family, being a child of a very kind, gentle and loving disposition. Her twin brother survives her.
The funeral took place from the Mormon church at two o'clock on Sunday afternoon. So great was the attendance that many were unable to gain admittance. Nearly the entire population of Hopkins was present. Appropriate hymns were sung by the choir and solemn services held, then the little casket, covered with floral offerings, wa borne to the grave and quietly laid away amid sorrow and tears. The mother, father, sisters and brothers feel most keenly the loss of their little Emma, who had endeared herself to their hearts.
Mr. and Mrs. Overy are exemplary parents and to lose one of their brightest gems is like crushing their hope in life. The sympathy of this entire community goes out to them in their sad affliction.
