Cresco Plain Dealer, December 23, 1904, page 4, column 7

Following is a notice of the death of Lucinda Miller, daughter of Herman and Amanda Miller, who died recently in Albion township; the notice is furnished by our regular correspondent:

It is impossible to silence your grief with words. The soul pleads for utterance in tears, and let it speak thus. We bow in sorrow at the taking of your little one, feeling that while the ripened fruit may be gathered, it seems cruel that the bud should be taken before it has had an opportunity to unfold its blossom; but in nature, fruits fall as do also blossoms and buds. In the way of kind nature, this is perhaps the best, and in the taking from our arms of this little one we will try to accept the cross and bear it, believing that the bud will yet blossom and bear fruit in the angel land whither the spirit of this pure child has so early flown.
