Obituary:

REED - Maggie May Reed died near Napoleon, O. on the 24th of Nov., 1893, aged 3 years, 10 months and 14 days. She was a delicate child, when one year old her weight was 12 pounds. Her tender life caused her to be loved and carressed by many; her last days of life were with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. P. Reed, where she found a good home, kind hearts and willing hands ever ready to administer to her in her illness, The best medical skill was employed, but she lingered near 2 weeks, then the spirit took its upward flight to realms of eternal day. The funeral services were held on the 24th of Jan., 1894, conducted by Rev. J. W. Myers.

No tender voice is heard at morn,
In accents sweet, so kind, so low,
Though you no more to us return,
Yet soon we too from earth must go.

Though strange His providence to me,
As o'er the paths of months just fled,
Memory recalls, O, can it be
That one so loved to me is dead.

O, no, she lives in glory bright,
Though here in sadness lone I roam,
Soon in that land beyond this night
We'll meet again safe, safe at home.
