Obituary:

Wilson. Martha May Wlson, born July 18, 1887, died July 10, 1889, aged two years and one day. This is the fourth darling child that these loving parents were blessed with; one little brother having preceded her to that better land, and so soon taken from them; oh, how hard to give her up. Mattie was one of those little flowers which bloom among us just long enough to twine their loving tendrils around onr hearts, and are then transplanted by the Father to bloom in everlasting glory. May the Lord comfort and support all the bereaved ones, and especially the father and mother in their sad bereavement and great affliction. May they all meet little Mattie May above, where there will be no more pain or sorrow to endure, but where all is joy and peace and love.

We are thankful to our neighbors and friends who so kindly assisted us during the illness and death of our child. Our hearts are enshrouded in sadness, but the great kindness and the tender sympathy shown us by all who knew of our loss and sorrow, is a bright star in the midnight of gloom. We also thank the ladies for the flowers. May your pathway through life be as thickly strewn with flowers as ours have been with sorrow, is the wish of Jambs and Elizabeth Wilson, Grand Parents, Aunts and Uncles.
