Obituary
Departed this life on Sabbath night, July 21, 1867 after a painful illness, Albert Joseph, beloved and only child of G. W. and Maria J. FENWICK, aged three months. Far away by the bright waves of the Mississippi river, four little graves already tell the sad story of bereavement of these fond parents, and now in a distant State they are called again to bear the pangs of sorrow in the death of this, their darling one, and how their hearts yearn for him can only be known by those who have lost one after another of their babes; but while they mourn let them not be unmindful of the blessed truth that their precious child is now at rest in the bosom of his Savior, and that if faithful Christians here they shall be permitted to rejoin him and their other blessed children in that happy land where sorrow is unknown. Cape Giradeau, Missouri.
