"OBITUARY - MCKIM. - On Monday, Nov. 19, 1894, occurred the funeral and burial of little Edith, aged 5 years, 2 months and 12 days, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar McKim, of 1512 East Vine street, Des Moines, Iowa. Mrs. Amelia McKim is the daughter of our much respected Father Garlock, of Mt. Zion. The funeral was preached by Presiding Elder Yerger, assisted by Rev. Brown, of this place. She was a patient sufferer for a long time. "Blessid are they that mourn for they shall be comforted." "MUST I DIE YOUNG? O God! My God! Must I die young? - My three score years and ten unspent? My journey here but just begun; Wherefore, O God! Was this blow sent? Must I die young? Must my bright vision disappear - Vision of golden years to be? These years, from life's great chain unlink'd, And joined unto eternity? Must I die young? My ripening thoughts - must they decay, Not yet matured in life's high noon? And this frail pencil, prized so well, Drop from my read hand so soon? Must I die young? Must she whom I have dearly loved In all my changeful years, Henceforth, in widowhood of soul, Walk the dark vale of tears? Just I die young? Must all I hold of earth be lost? - To me, no more revealed? And from these eyes the fire burn out? These lips be ever seal'd? Must I die young? I murmur not; I meekly bow, O God! To thy decree. Deprived of earthly gifts, I know I shall be joined to Thee, Though I die young." "CARD OF THANKS - We are truly greatful to the many friends and relatives, who have shown us such interest by their help in a time of need, and their sympathy in a time of sorrow. Mr. and Mrs. Oscar McKim." Editorial note - spelling, punctuation and grammar are used from the original newspaper article.
