The Obituary of Carey E. Little

“On Monday evening, March 25th, at half-past six o’clock, Carey E., second son of W.W. and Harriet A. Little aged 18 years, 5 months and 13. days.”

“Carey’s kind disposition won for him a large circle of friends, and his energetic, business-like habits, gave promise of much future usefulness, but unerring wisdom has seen fit to remove him in the spring of his young manhood from the one, and to veil the bright prospects of the other with the shadow of the grave. His tedious illness he bore with uncomplaining resignation and submission to His will who disposes of all events. The bereavement which has fallen on his devoted parents and family, is no light one, and they have the sympathy of the entire community in this, their hour of affliction.”1
