Cecial Pike died Sunday April 25th, 1897, of measles, aged 13 months. On last Sunday morning as the clock was still echoing the hour of one the pale ferryman with his sail spread, stopped at the home of Charles Pike and carried away in his icy arms, the youngest and only daughter of Charles Pike. Death is no respector of persons, and now that your dear little girl is gone to join her mother in Heaven, let your tears cease to flow. She will greet you again far beyond the striving of death where there is no sorrow (a poem is here) The remains arrived in Truro on the 4:11 train Monday evening, and was taken to the Hartman cemetery where it was laid to rest.
