Williamsburgh Journal, Williamsburgh (Iowa Co.), Iowa, 20 November 1885.

DIED;--EVAN ROWLAND EVANS, the child of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Evans. He was born April 3rd., 1882, and died Thursday, 11 p.m. Nov. 5th. 1885.

He was a beautiful and lovely boy, quick in his movements, and very bright intellectually. The parents have the most sincere sympathy of their friends and acquaintances in their bereavement and trouble. Their house truly has been a house of sickness and a house of mourning. The glorious consolation is that we can hear the words of Jesus in our affliction and troubles, "Lo I am with you always," and in regards to their beloved Evan R. He says, as of old, "Suffer little children to come to Me and forbid them not for of such is the Kingdom of God." May they be fully enabled to rely on the premises of their God. Who will surely sustain them in all their journey through life.

A FRIEND.
