Died Veach - January 20, 1880 of Consumption, at her home, three miles west of Newton, Miss Ella Veach, aged 14 years, 9 months and 4 days.

She hath passed away, and your hearts are lonely,
You'll miss her voice in the quiet eve;
The morn will come, but it's coming only
Brings dreary memories to make you grieve.

Grieve not for the love so early taken.
By the frosts of death to her final home,
For the years will pass like a fleeting phantom,
And you may join in the world to come.

She has passed away in the midst of Winter.
Like a tender flower beginning to bloom;
But breathe not a sigh, lone mother, remember her
Her spirit hath passed beyond the tomb,

To that happy land - to that blessed Saviour,
Who called his lambs to the other shore,
And when you lament your absent daughter,
Remember the skies have one angel more. E.J. ~
