Died at Freeman, South Dakota, Lily Henrietta Boysen, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. Boysen, departed this life March 22, 1900, aged 1 year, 4 months and 17 days. Her short sweet life had been burdened with much suffering. But after the constant care of the most loving parents she had for three weeks been perfectly well when she with almost her first steps walked out and fell into a vessel of water where she was found a few minutes later lifeless.

So young, so pure, so beautiful to life in death;
What will she be in Heaven?
Darling Lily thee has left us,
Left us for thy house above.
But we bow in meek submission
To His will - The God of love.
But we'll never forget our darling
How in snowy grace she lay
Wreathed in garlands pure and lovely,
Nor must we forget to pray.
Heavenly Father give us courage,
Strength and wisdom, faith and love,
Till once more we meet our darling,
in our home in Heaven above."

Paullina Times, 12 Apr 1900, p. 5
