Obituary.
Died, in Bellevue, La., on Thursday morning, June 21, 1888, of congestion, DAVID ONEAL, son of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Oneal; aged 7 years, 6 months and 24 days.
Again the dreaded messenger of Death visited this bereaved family to call away another one of the household jewels. Little DAVID has left his earthly home and gone out to dwell among the flowers across the river, where Angels keep sacred vigils, and where the melody of song and the fragrance of flowers "befitting well so fair a child," leaving behind him the cheering assurance that he is blest.
"Oh how sweet it will be in that beautiful land,
So free from all sorrow and pain,
With songs on our lips and with harps in our hands,
To meet one another again."
Sweet be the sleep of little DAVID.
The funeral services were held at Bellevue cemetery on last Friday morning conducted by Rev. A. T. Galloway.
