Gillet – March 22, 1862, Mary F. Gillet, only Daughter of Orrin and Lydia Gillet, aged 7 years, 8 months, 19 days, 1 hour, 25 minutes. Disease, Diptheria
“Lovely child how brief thy stay,
Short and hasty was thy day;
Ending soon thy journey here,
Pain and grief no more to bear.
Hard it is from thee to part,
For it rends the aching heart;
But an heir of glory’s gone –
Let the will of God be done.
Pillow’d on a Savior’s breast,
Sweetly sleep and softly rest;
Soon the morning shall restore
The buried child we now deplore.”
(Athens Messenger, Athens, OH, April 3, 1862)
