Obituary:

HEALY,--At Lourdes, Iowa, Nelley, daughter of John and Mary Healy, aged 16 years and one month,

Oh, Julia dear, thou hast gone and left us,
We mourn and miss thee.
The grief for our Nelly was too hard,
And in three short weeks
She left us to join you in your Heavenly home
Oh, children dear tis hard to loose{sic} you both.
But we will bear our loss for Jesus sake.
We but give thee back to him who gave thee.
We will trust in God his holy will be done,
And in Heaven we all shall meet.

Father, mother, brothers and sisters dear,
Mourn not for us.
For we are gone to our Heavenly home.
Our Savior called and we obeyed.
Oh, father mother dear.
We know tis hard to loose{sic} us both
In three short weeks;
Your loss is but our gain
Do not mourn for we are happy,
Trust in Jesus and pray for us.

-M. E. L,
