At Olathe, Kansas, March 4th, 1880. Helen H., second daughter of Robert F. aud Hattie L. Wilson, aged six years and ten months.

 

Little Helen was a child of rare promise. bright and intelligent beyond her years. If loving hearts could have kept her.she would have been with us yet, but early has she goue to join her "dear mama" in "the bright, the better land."

 

"Lay aside her little play things. Wet with mother' pearly tears.

How we shall miss little Helen All the coming, weary years;

Fold the dainty, little dresses,'That she never more, will wear.

For her little feet are waiting Up above the golden stair.

 

Kiss the little curly tresses, Cut from her bright, Golden hair.

Do the Angels kiss our darling , ln the realm so bright and fair?

Oh! we pray to meet our darling 1, For a long, long sweet embrace

Where the little feet are waiting Aud we meet her face to face."

L.M.B.
