DURBIN. In Freedom township, Henry Co., O., Rosanna May, daughter of Perry and Elizabeth Durbin, on the 25th of April, 1887, of Lung disease, aged 14 years, 8 months and 1 day. She leaves a kind father and mother, two brothers and three sisters and many friends to mourn her departure. Funeral services were held at the house at 10 a. m. by Rev. Close, the remains being followed to the grave by a large number of friends and sympathizing neighbors. She has gone to swell the number of those in the better land of whom the dear Savior hath declared: "of such is the kingdom of heaven."

Darling Rosy, we have lain thee in thy narrow bed to rest,
Never more to hear thy calling till we're numbered with the blest.
Thon art gone from out the household and we'll ever miss thee there,
But the shining hope within, us tells of a meeting bright and fair.

Yes, the Lord has taken our loved one with Him to reign forever more,
Where loved ones has preceded years before.
Father and mother miss thee Rosy, as the empty clothes they see,
Ever reminding them of the loved one who oft hsa played upon their knee.
Lay away the dresses that our darling used to wear,
For we all do miss bright Rosy when we see the vacant chair.
We all hope at last to meet her when life's trials hero are done,
In our Father's shining mansion where afflictions never come.

A Friend.
