July 10, 1882 - Oct 3, 1883
Obiturary:
October 3rd, 1883, of Bloody flux, terminating in brain affection, little Horace, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Hanson, aged one year two months and twenty days.
Little Horace was bright and sprightly, the hope of fond and loving parents, but these hopes on earth have been sadly cut off. The destroyer came, and with his unrelenting hand, seized upon the beautiful bud of the household; but their hopes are not blighted forever, for "If we believe that Jesus died, they who also sleep in Jesus, will God bring with him.".
Before the burial, a sermon was preached to relatives and sympathizing friends from these words of our Lord: Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God."
After the sermon, the remains were conveyed to the family burying ground on the farm of J. S. McDearman, the father of Mrs. Hanson, to await the resurrection morn.
"One lovely bud adorned our bower,
And shed sweet fragrance round,
It grew in beauty, hour by hour,
'Till ah! the spoiler came in power,
And crushed it to the ground.
Yet not forever in the dust,
That beauteous bud shall lie,
No, in the garden of the just,
Beneath God's glorious eye, I trust,
Twill bloom again on high."
J. H. Matlock
