CROSS ROADS, Des Moines Township. J. A. GAGE and wife recently buried their infant daughter, Ola, about two years old, in the Dunn grave yard, this township. The parents live in Wapello County. Not many years ago the bereaved parents buried an infant son in the same grave yard.

"Sweet Willie has gone to his home above
Dear Ola has gone there too
Where all is joy, peace and love,
And now they are waiting for you."
