OBITUARY. Died, in Cassville, on the morning of the 10th inst., AUGUSTUS VERDERY, son of Warren and Mary F. AKIN, aged two years, five months and eleven days. Too pure and sinless for earth—loved by the Saviour, he has been carried by angels to the kingdom of heaven to dwell forever with God. Young as he was, he was remarkably fond of singing to his mother, and possessed a capacity for music rarely found in one of his tender age. A verse of one of his favorite songs, which he often sang, faintly tells of the home of the loved and absent one: “There is a happy land. But he will sing no more on earth.—The music of his sweet voice is hushed. He is gone! [A funeral notice for the child of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Aiken can be found on page 3 of the June 11, 1857 issue.] |
