GALE:  In McDonough [Chenango Co. NY], May 17th, of dropsy on the brain, Nora Verlin [Gale], daughter of Winslow and Lucy Gale, aged 3 years, 7 months and 11 days.

Disease fastened upon little Nora, the cherished pet of the household, and in three short weeks its work was done. When those who watched the little sufferer with untiring care, felt that the death angel was hovering near, they prayed earnestly that his shadow might be withdrawn and their darling spared to still gladden their hearts and home; but God, in His providence, saw fit to remove the opening bud from earth to bloom in a fairer clime, where there are "no chilling winds or poisonous breath" to mar its beauty.  With bursting hearts, the bereaved ones bow to the will of heaven, and ask for grace to sustain them in this affliction.  Happy in Jesus' arms we leave thee.  A crown is on thy brow, and unfading flowers within thy hand.  Loved by all, sweetly sleeping, forever at rest, sweet one!

Golden curls and shining brown eye. / Rounded cheek, where the roses lie, / Pattering steps from the dear little feet, / Busiest, prettiest, sweet, complete / Papa's joy! / Mother's pride!

Queenly and lovely, most bright and most sweet, / Clear-voiced and graceful, in beauty complete, / Pure-hearted, loving, beloved, and fair, / Entangling a heart in each mesh of her hair. / Auntie's pet!

Star-crowned seraph, white garmented, meet / To touch the gold harp-string, in choruses sweet, / Bending from heaven, to draw by her hand0, / The dear ones below, to the beautiful land / God's beloved!
