ORBISON, RUBY - At Indianapolis, Friday morning, August 15, of congestion of the brain, little Ruby, daughter of W. H. and M. J. Orbison, aged 16 months. Buried at Danville, Illinois.

Put away the little dresses,
That our darling used to wear,
She will need them on earth never
She has climbed the golden stair.

Kiss the little curly tresses,
Cut from her bright golden hair;
Do the angels kiss our darling

In that realm so bright and fair.

Angels whisper that our darling
Is in lands of love, so fair;
That her little feet are waiting
Close beside the golden stair. M---.
