OBITUARY - Plain Dealer - Cresco, IA Feb 1861
In New oregon January 28, Ida May infant daughter of Charles S. and Julia Bly,aged 1 year 11 months, and 10 days.
"Fold her little shroud about her,
Softest folds of snowy white,
Yearning hearts must live without her,
She is in the land of light.
Clasp the tiny waxen fingers
O'er the peaceful slumbering breast.
Close the baby eye-lids gently,
Little Ida's gone to rest.
On her downy coffin pillow
Lay the darling little head,
Lay the precious sleeper softly,
in her strange and lonely bed.
Never more shall pain's keen arrows,
Pierce that sweet and tender form,
She is safe from every evil,
Safe from every earthly storm."
