At Otsdawa [Otsego Co. NY], Feb. 14, 1878, Mrs. Flora E. Jenks, wife of George H. Jenks and daughter of Chancellor and Eunice Beach, aged 21 years and 2 days. The deceased was gifted with qualities that inspired love and friendship, was sincere in her attachments, cheerful in countenance and demeanor, kind to everybody and considerate and delicate in thought and speech. Sorrow at her loss is soothed by the thought that the loved and departed one has awakened from the sleep of death into that joy which passeth understanding. The family have the earnest sympathy of many friends in their bereavement. A friend hands us the following lines for publication:
Tenderly loop the nut-brown tresses / Back from the brow as white as snow, / Fold the hands on the silent bosom, / Dead - Oh God! And we loved her so. / Closed are the laughing eyes forever, / Hushed is the voice of tender tone, / through the valley of gloom and shadow / Flora, our darling passed alone.
Vainly we held the hand of our loved one; / Strove to call her to earth once more, / Heard she only the song of the angels / Borne afar from the golden shore. / Boldly she entered death's rushing waters, / Floated away on the gloomy tide / Beckoning ever for us to follow, / Follow and meet on the other side.
Withered and dead is the crown of laurel / Won from the world in her youth's bright prime, / Vanished the dream of a golden future, / Hope has fled to a sunnier clime. / Bring no wreath of cypress or myrtle, / Gloomy symbols of night and woe / Fill her hands with the sun born flowers / Dear to us for she loved them so.
Pure and sweet as a tender lily, / Fading too soon in youth's first bloom, / Weary of earthly toil and striving / Sought she rest in the silent tomb. / Dear shall be her memory ever, / Joining our hearts with a golden hand, / Close to our angel one in heaven, / Leading us up to the shining strand.
Thou who breakest the bruised reed never, / Thou who turnest the night today, / In this time of sorrow and anguish / Be our guide, our refuge our stay. / Only to Thee all hope we bring. / Lead us up, lead us up to our darling, / To thy promise ever we cling.

"Twas but a babe"
"What know ye of her love / Who patient, watcheth till the stars grow dim, / Over her drooping infant with an eye / Bright as unchanging Hope is her repose. / What know ye of her woe, who sought no joy / More exquisite, than on her placid brow / To trace the glow of health, and drink at dawn / The thrilling lustre of her waking smile. / Go ask that musing father why you grave, / So narrow, and so noteless, might not close, / Without a tear."
