Ethan father's journal entry: "He [Ethan Barrows, Jr.] died on the 18th day of August, 1838, being five months and nine days of age. He was at this time our only child, the fondest hope of our earthly enjoyments. Although bereaved of the only repository of our future blessings to be handed down to future generations, we should not weep as ones having no hope, for short, though bitter, was his pain, and eternal is his joy. It appeared that he was taken from the evils to come [the Mormon War] and we were led to exclaim like one of old, The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord."
