DIED

Little Frankie L., youngest son of Charles and Mary Keefe, died in Afton, Iowa, July 6th, A.D. 1871, aged 5 years and 2 months.

So bright, so pretty and affectionate, he was almost idolized, not only by his fond parents, but by all who knew him.

During a long and dainful sickness he was parient as a lamb.

Near the closing scene he was even anxious to go. Told his dear mother he would be with sweet angels, and with God. Told her not to cry, she would soon come.
