OMANS: In Earlville [Madison Co. NY], Feb. 20th, Jamesie Gates [Omans] only child of J.P. and Saphronia Omans, aged 1 year and 14 days. A few years ago, another little son was called away. We remember him as a beautiful child with a sweet smile, with dark thoughtful eyes which reflected so much from within. We were sad when the pale messenger came, but the command "Suffer little children to come until me" must be obeyed. Another came to be loved and cared for, and for a short year the affections of parents and friends were enlisted around him, when he too was called. It is earthly sadness to thus have a home shorn of its treasure, to have an aching void where once was the rosy, lovely form, but as we looked upon its sweet face, as beautiful as an ideal, with a smile upon its lips as if the angels had kissed its life away, we could not wish him back for all this beauty, this more than life sweetness seemed to us but a faint foresight of its life among the roses beyond. Dead? Oh, no, baby isn't dead, only gone.
