BLANCHE, infant daughter of W.L. & N.J. Rea, aged 7 months and 27 days.  Thus our loving Father takes our little blossoms and transplants them to his heavenly home to bloom in eternal beauty.  We miss the little ones with their sweet and pretty ways, and so lonely and desolate our hearts are it is hard to reconcile ourselves to our great loss.  Yet we must remember that He loves and provides for our little treasures with even more than a fond  mother's tender love; and we can cherish the blessed hope that after a few years of toil and trial we may meet and clasp our darlings again, never to be parted from them.
