Obituary
Theodosia, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.D. McIntyre, was born Feb. 2, 1886, and died Aug. 15, 1897.
Thus are ended eleven beautiful years. After a brief illness she left her home darkened by the sorrow of her going and the grief of her many friends testifies the affectionsts esteem in which she was held.
She filled the measure of her parents' fondest wishes and the memory of her happy disposition, her generous impulses, and her ready response to the call of duty will always be cherished in the hearts of the now broken home circle. Truthfulness, that foundation stone of noble character, was one of her prominent traits. Beautiful in person, bright in intellect, gentle in manners, and responsive to religious teachings, she was a child of unusual promise.
In the hush of this deep sorrow, we almost hear the sobbing of that...(rest too difficult to decipher)
