.....Nellie, youngest child of David T. LEPPO, was buried on Sunday, September 5th.

(sic. this verse followed:)
"Lay aside her little playthings,
Wet with Mother's pearly tears,
How we'll miss our little Nellie,
All the weary coming years.

Fold the dainty little dresses
That she never more will wear,
For her little feet are waiting
Close beside the golden stair.".....
