Died Near Killduff
At the home of his grand-parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albee, April 21, 1896, little Donald, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Jackson, aged about 11 months.
Once more the grim messenger, Death, has entered a happy, contented family and taken from its midst the household pet. A few weeks ago this fond mother, with her baby boy, went to visit the parental home and while there, little Donald was taken with inflammation of the bowels and gradually grew worse, until Tuesday morning, when the angels came and whispered, softly whispered, “Baby come!” We trust God will pour the balm of consolation into the bleeding hearts of the lonely parents and grand-parents, and comfort them whom no earthly friends can comfort, only to some extent. Interment took place in the Hixson Grove cemetery Wednesday, April 22nd at 3 o’clock p.m.
