DIED.

WITHROW:--After a severe illness of more than three weeks, Webb Arnold Withrow, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Withrow, quietly breathed his last, Friday, April 24, 1891. Little Webb was a general favorite, a bright intelligent, beautiful child. He was in the sixth year of his age. There funeral services were held from Asbury church on Sunday afternoon, Rev. Thorn and Dr. Spaulding officiating. A very large concourse of sympathizing friends were present and accompanied the sorrowing bereaved ones to Forest Home Cemetery, where the earthly remains of the dear little boy were laid to rest. it is inexpressibly sad the death of the young, but very many parents have passed through this same sad experience. "The air is full of farewells to the dying, and mournings for the dead." -- "Father, they chastening rod, so help thine afflicted ones, to bear, that in the spirit land, twill be heaven to find that -- he is there."
