Summerville, Union County, Oregon
Near Summerville, March 27th, John W. Shore, aged 4 years, 11 months and 8 days:
He is dead they softly whispered,
Lay him on the couch of snow;
Let the angels watch our darling,
They can guard him best we know
Fold the hands that once were busy,
Smooth the curls that shone like gold,
Close the eyes that once were sparkling,
And the lips so still and cold.
