May 1896

Miss Nellie Stoneman died on Saturday morning May 16, 1896 of diphtheria. She was the second daughter of T. H. Stoneman and was 15 years of age. She contracted the disease while working at Mr. Hogg’s.

She was buried in the Young cemetery on Saturday evening just as the shade of twilight was coming on, when the birds were warbling their evening song, when the beautiful flowers were beginning to drink in the evening dew; ‘twas there we silently laid her, ‘twas there we left her, with the twinkling stars, which was just peeping out to light her pathway into that better world where no disease can enter.

Mr. and Mrs. Stoneman have the sympathy of the entire community in their affliction, altho’ not permitted to be presented to render assistance.
