Clare R. Naden, 1882-1884

ORCHARD:

Death has again entered the circle of our acquaintance, and taken Clare R., only daughter of James W. and Rose M. Naden, age 2 years 8 months. She was a bright, winsome child, almost idolized by her parents. She was taken with cholera infantum one week ago Saturday, and in spite of medical skill she gradually grew worse and passed over the dark river about 5 o'clock Sunday evening.

The parents have the sympathy of this entire community. But only those who have passed through the same affliction can feel the deepest sympathy. We, too, will miss our little neighbor, the patter of those little feet as she came up the path, the touch of the tiny hand she gave us in greeting. But she is now with the great Master who said, "Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven."

The funeral takes place today [Sept. 9, 1884], from the residence of her parents.
