The Nevada Representative, Nevada, Story County, Iowa, August 11, 1880.

Died.

Charley, son of Thos. and Sarah Templeton, died Saturday last, after an illness of but twenty hours. His age was 2 years, 1 month and 14 days.

Carefully his little body was placed in the grave at 2 o'clock on Sunday. Let the parents look up, for he is above.

"God forbade his longer stay;
God recalled the precious loan'
God hath taken him away,
From my bosom to his own;
Surely what he wills is best;
Happy in his will I rest."
