Lilly Frost
Died - Of congestion of the brain and bowels, Oct. 26th, 1878, Lilly Jane, daughter of Augustus and Nellie Frost, aged seven years and ten months. Every attention was given for her relief from the first complaining until death, which was only two days, but all in vain. The message was sealed and final. She must go; and as she gently passed away there was an impress of smile left upon her face indicative of peace and quiet, only waving back an entreaty to relatives and friends to press onward and upward to the mark of the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus. Dear bereaved friends, as we drop the sympathizing tear, our prayers ascend to God in your behalf for sustaining grace. Weep not as those who have no hope, but trust God for immortal life and happiness. Through God's economy of grace we believe her saved, and for ought we know may be removed from earth to heaven to increase your desires for immortal glory.
The funeral discourse was delivered by the writer, from the 24th chapter of Mathew, 44th verse, at the Carlin school house. [The Fairbury Gazette, Saturday, November 2, 1878]
