FOSTER. - On Dec. 9, 1882 of spinal fever, Stella, only daughter of George and MaryFoster, aged 4 years, 6 months, and 9 days.

Papa and Mama miss thee Stella,
As thy vacant space they see;
Ever reminding them of their loved one,
Who oft has played upon their knee.

Lay away the little dresses
That our darling used to wear,
For we all miss bright Stella
When we see the vacant chair.

We all hope at last to meet her
When life's trials on earth are done,
In on father's shining mansion
Where affliction never comes

M. F., Holgate, O. Dec. 9, 1882
