In Memoriam.



"Died, Oct 7th, 1891, near Madison, Mattie Bell Garnett, the only
daughter of A.F. and Annie Garnett, born June 15th, 1885. She was 6
years, 3 months and 22 days old.



She was the music of thy home,

Their sweet and darling girl;

But God has taken away the one

That was thy light, thy life, thy joy.

But she has gone - only gone -

Out of pain and into bliss;

Out of sad and sinful weakness

Into perfect holiness.

Her snowy brows - no care shall shade them;

Bright eyes, tears shall never dim them;

Rosy lips, no time shall fade them -

Jesus called her unto Him.

It is well, though never more

Her little form to earth be given;

She rests where sin and grief are o'er,

And thou shall meet thy child in haven.
