Little Bessie Lee, aged 1 year, youngest daughter of Harry and Lulu Lee, who has been ill for several weeks, left this life yesterday morning. Her mission on earth was a short one. What it was we leave to Him who doeth all things well. As we looked at her beautiful little form as it lay shrouded for the tomb, we thought her too lovely to place in the cold earth; then we remembered that this was only her mortal body, her spirit having flown to meet the young mother who fell asleep just two months ago. Her father and other relatives have the sympathy of many friends.
