July 1894

On the eve of July 24, Sarah Adeline, youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. John Muselman, aged 1 year 3 months and 19 days, after a short illness was taken to the protecting care of him who said "Suffer little children to come unto me." Little did her parents think until three or four days before her death, of the loss so soon to be forced upon them.

Adeline will be remembered at home as being unusually affectionate. The arms so often and so tenderly placed about papas and mamas neck in childlike embrace will never again perform their endearing salutation here on earth. The bright blue eyes and the cheering intonation are of the past. The sisters and little brothers can go to where little Adeline dwells but she will never return to them. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Creger of Peru.

The remains were conveyed to the Truro cemetery and laid to this last resting place in a white casket to await the family reunion where parting is no more. (a poem follows)
