Obituary- Navarre, John E.

Gone Home.

Little John Navarre has gone to sleep in Jesus February 6th 1912.

There's a pair of little hands laid to rest forevermore; There's two dimpled cheeks whose rich blossoming is o'er; death has sealed two little eyes which will not more smile nor weep tiny windows of the soul, Little John has gone to sleep. There's another Bud removed ere it felt the blight of sin; Through the door the Angles [sic] move, darling John has passed in, He has reached the Golden Shore crossed the river cold and deep; Angles [sic] bore him safely o'er Little John has gone to sleep. He will wake in fairer lands where the Angel band doth sing, there the Flower it will expand, There will all perfection bring far beyond the azure skies; Where the tiny star eyes peep from all earths cares, doubts or fears, Little Johns gone to sleep. Angels bore him safely home, so for him we will not weep. Gently to the doorway come; Little John has gone to sleep.

[From The Rossville Reporter, March 15, 1912]
