Insertions
[death notice] Died
Baker - In Highland township, on Sunday morning. March 6th, 1887, of
consumption, Mazie E. Baker, aged 23 years and 5 months.

'Tis sad to see the old and worn
Draw their latest breath;
More sad to see the young in bloom
Sinking in the arms of death.

Long she lay on a bed of pain,
Long, oh I long did we hope and wait;
But she passed away from her sweet home
And went to rest through the golden gate.

Not a murmur passed her lips,
Not a sigh her heart prolonged;
Jesus loves me and I love Jesus
Was her sweet triumphant song.

I have gone to meet my mother,
Who has long been at rest;
I know that you will miss me,
But God's ways are best.

Gone from those that love thee fondly,
Gone to him who loved thee more;
Gone to join with bliss immortal,
And with those who've gone before.

Yes, thou art gone and heaven's own light
Sheds glory round thy pallid brow;
The voice that now is hushed on earth
Chants sweetest angel music now.
      A Friend.
