The death angel has again visited our community and plucked one of its fairest flowers. Little Katie, daughter of Richard A. and Emma Bennett, died February 12, aged four years, two months and twelve days.
She was ill but a few days with that dread disease, membranous croup, and it seems almost beyond our comprehension that we will see the bright, winsome little girl on earth no more, and though an aching void is left in our hearts, yet we think of her as a tiny rosebud transplanted by the Shepherd's own hand to a fairer clime than this. The parents and grandparents have the deepest sympathy of the entire community in their sudden grief.
There came upon that house a sudden gloom,
A shadow on those features fair and thin;
And quickly from within that darkened room
Two angel issued where but one went in.
