New Berlin, Chenango Co. NY; The wife and children of Charles Reed have all been very ill with the scarlet fever. The youngest child is still very sick and not expected to Live. [Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, Nov. 14, 1878]
REED: New Berlin, Chenango Co. NY: The little daughter of Charles Reed of whom we spoke in last week's Union, died Tuesday night, after many days of pain and terrible suffering. It did seem hard to see the sweet "baby face" bearing the traces of deep and bitter pain, yet we know that our Father "doeth all things well," and someday in the great life to come, we shall understand why she suffered so long, with the dark death shadow hovering over her. But the silent "angel" at last in mercy touched the sinless brow, and the little one slept the sweet sleep of eternal blessedness. At the midnight hour the freed spirit went up among the shiny stars to that holy life that never known anything of the pain and shadows of this wintry world. The little baby life of a few months is ended here, but a grand, holy existence begun in the presence of God and the glorified ones. A strange, sad silence may dwell in the vacancy of an earthly home, but here is a new place filled in heaven, and a new, sweet face, and a new angel voice joins the great melody.
Rev. Mr. Shelland conducted the funeral services of the little one and preached a short sermon from these words: "Is it well with the child?" The tiny casket that held the little white form was borne to the most beautiful part of the cemetery, a slight eminence among the evergreen trees, and buried from our sight. So little Flora [Reed] escaped the long, cold winter that already is settling down upon us, as well as the "life winter," with its blight and chill. yes, it is well with the child.
