Blowers, Walter Leroy Blowers
Source: Spirit of Democracy June 9, 1885
Died -- April 30, 1885, of lung fever, WALTER LEROY, son of C. M. and H. J. BLOWERS, aged 4 years, 6 months and 16 days.
Weep not because your darling
Was borne to worlds on high,
Before his charms did half unclose
To your admiring eyes.
.
“Tis true you miss your darling,
And often think him near;
In visions of thy memory,
In starts, you see him here.
.
Had he lived but a few short years,
In all his beauty bright,
His eyes would oft been dimmed with tears,
His heart been touched with blight.
.
You miss his childish footfall,
His prattling tense of glee;
No more before the cottage door
His cherished form you see.
.
But he has gone to dreamless sleep
‘Mid tears and heart wrung sighs;
Oh! Do not for the angel weep,
His home is in the skies.
.
He has joined his angel sister,
And they’re waiting till you come;
Pray God to guard and keep you
Till you [sic] safely meet at home.
