"...The next morning, Isla, his babe, was taken with spasms and fever...With a bleeding heart, he attended her and spoke words of comfort to his wife until Tuesday morning he too was taken with fever. He rapidly grew worse...His spirit was released. He reached the "Land of unclouded sky" but a few hours before he was joined by Isla..."
