Fayetteville Weekly Democrat 12 June 1880
Brother and Sister Gone
James Henry Engles and Jennie Engels are no more. The brother died first, ten days in advance of his sister. Henry was born October 28th, 1857, and died May 18th, 1880; Jennie was born December 25th, 1860, and died May 28th, 1880, aged 22 and 19 respectively. They were the two eldest children of W.H. and Isabella Engles of Farmington. Disease and death did their work rapidly and brother and sister were soon together in the new strange world of spirits. They were greatly beloved and their places cannot be filled in the hearts of sorely bereaved parents. The entire community feels this double blow, and joins its sincere sympathy with the afflicted family. They had made no open profession of faith in Christ, yet they were uniformly obedient to their parents and formed no evil associations. The young people will feel the irreparable loss of these sweet spirited friends. The future appeared especially promising for them, but how soon and fearful the disappointment. May the God who sent this visitation of severity temper the grief it brings, make plain the lessons He intends to teach, and in mercy, give strength to the family to say, "Not my will, but thine be done." J.A. Walden, Springdale, Ark., June 8th, 1880.
