From Nevada Representative February 26, 1879

Died.

Sunday evening, February 23d, 1879, of typhoid pneumonia, Mellie, youngest daughter of A. C. and M. E. Barrett, aged 2 years and 25 days.

Alas! how sudden death will come,
When we are not aware,
And snatch away from our embrace,
A loved one of our care.

But let us meet those happy ones,
Who have passed on before,
And form a far more happy band
Than e'er we died before.
