HEALD, ALICE - Jan. 31st of Congestive Chills, Alice, aged 4 years and 4 months. On Dec. 18th brother, William Z. died. Only children of Dr. A. and M. E. Heald.
Weep not, fond parents those loved ones
To thee a while was given
To gain thy love, then passed away,
To lure thy thoughts to Heaven.
Those tender buds could ne'er sustain
The ills we suffer love;
Their spirits sought a happier clime--
A more congenial sphere.
And though they sleep within the tomb,
Yet will their spirits rise--
Two lovely plants removed from earth,
To bloom in Paradise.
