DIED

SEEVERS- May 6th, 1878, Francis Marion, infant son of Mr. And Mrs. Bucas Seevers, aged 1 month and 6 days.

“That infant is a seraph now!
That beauteous boy, with harp and crown,
Exulting spreads his wings;
Thou almost hear’s those perfect strings
Whose music is to thee unknown,
Sound where the glad immortals bow,
Where children cast their honors down at Jesus’ feet.
Think, parents, while sweet tears are shed,
How blessed are the early dead!

The funeral service was held at the residence of Mr. Seevers, and Rev. E. M. H. Fleming officiated.
