Obituary Robert Burnett

Again the angel of death of Tuesday night, Nov. 1, 1910, has entered Mrs. Robert Burnett’s home, near Saulsbury, and bore her beloved baby boy, Robert, to a land were pain and sorrow never enter. Robert was two years and two days old. He was sick three months and bore his suffering patiently. He was a beautiful and lovable child, the pet of the household and friends. How his mother, who so tenderly nursed him while hoping and trusting each day he would be better tomorrow, will miss him. In taking from your arms this little one, I pray that you will try to accept the cross and bear it. God’s richest blessings by upon you and your other little boys and girls.

There was an angel band in heaven

That was not quite complete,

So God took darling Robert

To fill the vacant seat.

A Friend
