ADERHOLDT.—At the residence of her father, in Jacksonville, Ala., Feb. 23rd, 1889, Willie, daughter of Jonas and Fannie Aderholdt, aged about 18 years.

A joy has departed from the dwelling, a shadow has fallen across the hearth. The eldest daughter, full of life and promise has been taken away. Ever thoughtful, helpful and kind, her presence was a light and joy in the loving family circle, and her absence is a bitter grief and sorrow. With our tears and sympathy we mingle our prayers that her parents in this dark hour may know the full comfort of Our Heavenly Father and through sanctified affliction be prepared to meet their darling where the shadows never come.

"Dearest sister thou has left us,

Here thy loss we deeply feel;

But 'tis God who has bereft us,

He will all our sorrows heal.

Yet again we hope to meet thee,

When the day of life is fled,

Then in heaven with joy to greet thee,

Where no farewell tear is shed."
 

Jacksonville Republican, Jacksonville, Alabama, 16 March 1889, page 3, column 2.
