OBITUARY.

By Joseph Nichols

Died, in the vicinity of La Porte City, Iowa, after a short illness of three weeks, Maria Nichols, daughter of George Nichols, in the sixteenth year of her age.
The subject of this notice was born near Perry's Mills, Clinton Co., N. Y., Feb. 1, 1844, where she remained until the spring of 1858, when she removed to Iowa with her friends; where she fell asleep Sept. 18, 1861, no more to awake till the morning of the resurrection, when those who sleep in Jesus will be clothed with immortality and life.
“Dearest sister, she has left us, Here her loss we deeply feel; But 'tis God that hath bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal.
“Yet again we hope to meet her, When mortality is fled; Then in heaven with joy to greet her, Where no farewell tear is shed.”
JOSEPH NICHOLS.
