An Awful Death. On last Thursday evening after closing our columns, we learned
of the distressing death of a little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Price Frank,
of near Crayon. The childs death was caused from a burn, her clothing catching
fire from a stove on Monday morning. She suffered until Thursday when her
little life went out altho when her wounds were first dressed they were not
thought dangerous, except by the little sufferer herself, who said as stated
in the following Obituary
Lizzie Delilah, daughter of Price and Laura Frank, was born in Champaign
county, Ohio, April 4th, 1891, died, January 31st, 1895, aged three years
nine months and twenty seven days. She was a bright child and immediately
after the terrible accident that caused her death, she told her Mamma that
she was going to die and begged her to stay near her. May the bereaved Father
and Mother of this dear child, whose waxen folded hands, the still heart
so often pressed, those sleep-bound eyes, the sweet still face that has been
taken from them before the world had touched her with a stain, realize that
they have many sympathising friends that have been called to a kindred grief.
Blessed be the name of Him who giveth and taketh away, that he has said "Suffer
little children to come unto me for such is the kingdom of Heaven."
