HOUSER, MAUDIE -In Memory of Little Maud - Maudie Houser, who departed this life February 3rd, 1878, was one of the gems of earth, and there is not a gem left upon the earth half so bright (to the parents) as was Maud--she being the only daughter, the only child, and in their great bereavement they have our deepest sympathy. We have a disposition to rejoice with those who do rejoice, and weep with those who weep. "This is weeping". But we rejoice that Maudie has gone where sickness, sorrow, pain and death can never enter. That little prattle is hushed, the little hands are folded, the seat in her class is vacant, and little Maud is gone.
