∼Daughter of John E. and Addie McCALL.
Aged 3 Years, 4 Months, 23 Days.∼GRACE McCALL - Little Grace, the three-year old daughter of John E. and Mrs. Addie McCALL, is dead. Last Friday (January 15, 1892) at about eleven o'clock a.m. her pure and spotless soul was taken from its beautiful tenement of clay and habilitated in the dazzling white robes of God's own angels. Only a few days before, in the full enjoyment of health, her little eyes sparkling with loving merriment, she was the idol of her parents. How short a time until the great change from earth to heaven, from the presence and care of those who loved her to a cold and narrow bed in the snow-shrouded ground. How sweet, how angelic, how peaceful she looked in her tiny coffin when father, mother and relatives bent over her to kiss their sweet baby. O God, we thank thee for thy blessed words which alone can soften the sting of such bitter grief -- "Of such is the kingdom of heaven." For this little girl, the writer had a peculiarly strong affection, and in her loss, we sorrow with her bereaved family almost as if she had been of our own blood. How vividly we recall the many times, day after day, when passing her home, she greeted us with the always remembered salutation, "Howdy Mr. Barwy." Men and women may pass away and be forgotten but these lisping words of little Grace will remain with us a cherished recollection. We too have stood over the coffin of an idolized child and said those heart-wringing words, "Goodby sweet baby". Funeral Services were held at the residence of E. J. TIMBERLAKE, little Grace's grandfather, Presiding Elder Williams officiating and the interment took place Saturday afternoon at Beech River graveyard.
