McNeeley, Nora Delany
Little NORA DELANY McNEELEY died at the residence of Mr. J. A. Guynn, near Eagle Lake, Colorado county, on Sunday last, of congestion. She had lived for some time in Columbus, was about twelve years old, and a general favorite with all. Born in Columbus December 16th 1867. We extend sincere sympathy to her afflicted mother. A bright, pretty intelligent little girl, a few short days ago so full of life and happiness, we can hardly realize that she has gone forever from among us. But,”Death loves a shining mark,” and little Nora certainly was one of the best for the dread monarch to select in our midst.
“Can this be death? there’s bloom upon her cheeks;
But now I see it is no living hue,
But a strange hectic--like the unnatural red
Which Autumn plants upon the perish’d leaf.
It is the same. Oh! God, that I should dread
To look upon the same.”
