In Memory of George Joseph Small
On Tuesday, evening, October 3rd, 1916, George, the 6 year old son of Robt. Small and wife, slipped away to him who said: "Suffer little children to come unto me." All unspotted from this world in which he tarried such a little while--such a little while! Only just long enough for the parent's heart strings to entwine about the little life so near their own, and to make them feel the loss through all the years to come. For each day brings a new sense of loss; the loss of what the child would be then. As only those of us who have seen the little white caskets carried from our homes know.
In the cold moist earth we laid him,
When the forest cast the leaf,
And we wept that one so lovely,
Should have a life so brief,
And yet not we meet it, was that, this fair child of ours.
So gentle and so beautiful, should perish with the flowers.
