In Memoriam - Died in Frisco Tuesday28 Jan 1890 Frank Farnsworth
age 14 years.
Truly"Death loves a shining mark" exemplified in the case of
Frank Farnsworth. These few simple words tell us of a beautiful
young life gone from our midst in the bloom of you hand as I
write pause to think why this flower was made to bless the world
but for such a short time. Time may never reveal the wisdom of
God in thus plucking this good young life from his home and
associates are the dreams of youth were realized his dreams of
heaven. But eternity will be surely unfold in all this the
purity the wisdom the tenderness of the love of Him who is "too
wise to err too good to be unkind" and will show to us wherein
this afflicting dispensation was necessary for our good and for
God's glory. He was intelligent young and beautiful and was
loved by every one. "None knew him but to love him none named
him but to praise." God truly loves the good and had need of
Frank in his mansion. When He called He found him ready. Frank
was a consistent boy and was indeed an example of faith as
exemplified on his deathbed.
O, uncle and friends weep not. I will soon be at rest-
Beautiful rest where the weary are blest.
To each one dear he bade adieuAnd pleadingly said be faithful
and true.
O, friends weep not. I will soon be at rest
Those who are nearest-faithful friends Loving brothers and kind
sisters --
May God quite them and unbroken band
Oh the shores of Heaven on the golden strand.
We miss him ever who loved him so well.
Oft will our bosoms in loneliness swell
When we look for the form and patient face
Of dear Frank who has finished the race.
Brothers, sisters and friends turn away from the grief that
surrounds you and talk of Frank by the fireside and the grave
and think of him as only gone before to attract and welcome you
to that sun-bright clime. May we all too live as secure an
abundant entrance into that building not made with hands and
there be greeted by the voice of Frank -- "Welcome Home." J. M.
