Sad Death of a Little Boy
   Died at his home in our city yesterday at 7 o'clock p.m. little Ralph 
 Roberts, aged three years.
Thus over a happy home the shadow of a little grave has fallen; and, as 
 another has said, it is wonderful how long a shadow a little grave can 
 throw.  Little Ralph was so bright and cheerful, so precious to his parents 
 that he seemed a flower of paradise permitted to bloom for a brief season 
 by their side, them recalled to a home beyond the skies, leaving the earth 
 road for them dark and lonely indeed.
   After funeral services at the home this afternoon, the little form will 
 be laid to rest in the city cemetery. May God's purest angels guard his 
 slumbers.
