The Clinton Age, Clinton, Iowa, January 29, 1875

Died

YOUNG-On Wednesday morning, January 27, of scarlet fever, little Maggie, only daughter of Geo. & Frances E. Young, aged 8 years and four months
Another cherub missed from the folds of the “Great Shepherd” and angels are sent to transplant her to the bowers of paradise. She was a meek sufferer, and has gone, her innocence and beauty to the cline where love is never blighted and the chill of death is unknown. Everywhere in the neighborhood is missed her fairy form and sweet words. Home is in desolate that the hearts that almost worshiped little Maggie seem crushed with this affliction. But when their feet shall stand on the shore of the great hereafter and their eyes are opened to behold its untold beauties, they will clasp their angel Maggie to love her through a long eternity.
