- Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, May 23, 1878 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - In Memoriam - On the death of Nellie, youngest daughter of Mr. A. and Lovina Orton, aged 7 years and 10 months.She has gone from her home, from her kindred departed; To the dust we resign her, the young and pure hearted. The form that we loved, and the hope that we cherished, Ere yet their bright morning was over have perished. No more to her friends, in this sojourn of sorrow, Shall this sweet voice of Nellie ever welcome the morrow. To us was her presence a fountain of sweetness, her mortal existence a bright dream of fleetness. But the chain that had bound her fair spirit is broken, The final farewell has been mournfully spoken. And long shall her friends for her absence be weeping, Who now in yon silent green valley lies sleeping. She is gone to her rest, to her kindred departed, To the choirs of the angels, so young and pure hearted. The Lord hath but taken the gift he hath given, Too lovely for earth, bath recalled it to heaven. And the blossom now plucked from the arbor in sadness, Shall there bloom, unfading, in beauty and gladness. Then weep, ye who loved her, now lone and forsaken, But weep not for her whom her Savior hath taken. She is gone ore the fragrance of childhood was blighted, Or the spirit's pure pathway grown dim and benighted; And soon shall ye meet her, through now doomed to sever, To greet and to dwell with your Nellie forever
