DIED. Sept. 27, John Mitchell, infant son of John and Jennie A. Hinchon, aged 7 months and 2 days.

"All that's bright must fade,
The brightest still the fleetest,
All that's sweet was made
But to be lost when sweetest."

Notes:
The "lines on the death" are in reference to a long poem signed by "Katherine" appearing in the 10/20/1875 Lansing paper. The poem has not been transcribed.
