“Suffer little children to come
unto me, for of such is the
kingdom of heaven.”

Died -- At Crook City, Monday, November 14, 1887, at 5 o’clock p.m., of pneumonia, Mabel Sarah, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B. Stevens died, aged 2 years and 5 months.

Funeral took place from the Methodist church at Crook City, at 10 o’clock a.m. yesterday, Nov. 16th, Rev. Atwater officiating.

“Mamy” was one of earth’s fairest flowers, blossoming here for a time only to be transplanted in a fairer clime. She was bright, loving and lovely, strewing sunshine wherever she went. The family thus bereft have the sympathy of the entire community. May the kind, heavenly Father, who gave this precious darling, cause them to realize that it is the same loving hand that has withdrawn her that she may develop into perfect beauty and loveliness while she awaits their coming. --L.M.

(Remains moved to Whitewood Cemetery in 1918.)
