REBECCA A. E., only daughter of Jonathan L. and Mary A. Smith, died February 9, 1858, aged 4 months and 26 days.
So passes away earthly comforts, but the opening blossom of childhood's days shall bloom again in Heaven.
This lovely bud, so young, so fair,
Called home by early doom,
Just came to show how sweet a bud,
In Paradise could bloom.
Colton, Ohio, Feb. 17, 1858
