Elkader Register, Thur., 09 Mar. 1893.

Died - PAIGE, Amy Rebecca, the beloved daughter of Frank and Carrie Paige, died Thursday night, at 12 o'clock, Feb. 23, 1893, aged 2 months and 6 days, at her home in Highland Twp., Clayton County, Iowa.

Papa and mamma's darling has gone
To the land of heavenly sunshine;
To the sweet green fields above,
To a home with shining angels.
To an everlasting love.
One more little angel spirit
Has been gathered to its rest,
To the mansion of our Savior,
To his tender, loving breast.

How we miss our little baby,
Yet we know that God is just,
And we feel that in his goodness
We can put our faith and trust,
For he said the little children,
Let, oh let, them come to me,
For who enters to my kingdom
Like them, free from sin must be.

Help us Lord that we may enter
Through the gold and pearly gates,
Where our loved ones pure and happy,
For our coming now await.
