DIED - In Harrison Township Gallia county Ohio, Elmore Alexander, only son of Angeline and Alexander Questel, on the first of May 1865, aged 9 months and 8 days, his illness lasted five days when he passed to his new home in the skies.
| He has gone in his beauty, To his home in the skies, His friends, are now weeping, O'er the grave where he lies. Strong arms have upborn him, Through the dark swelling flood, He is wearing a white robe, That was washed in his blood. But fond father, weep not, Though Elmore's no more, You'll meet your sweet darling On Cansans? bright shore, Dry your tears, dear Mother, Angel Elmore's up there, In that heavenly mansion He went to prepare. Oh weep not for him, His sufferings are o'er. he's not lost to you, He's just gone before. Josephene C. |
