Harding, Agath Louise (1881 - 17 July 1882)

Harding - In Fremont Township, Wis., July 17th, 1882, Agath Louise, youngest daughter of William and Sarah Harding, aged one year, six months and one day.

Agath was a beautiful child and unusually bright for one of her age. She was almost idolized by the family and was loved by all who knew her. The funeral was held on Wednesday, July 19th, from the house, Rev. J. A. Benton conducting the services.

Little Agath is in heaven now, and not with those of mortal birth; God has touch of her tiny lips, and she is done with earth.

She has left her loving mother’s arms, and gone with dear ones gone before. This is a comfort and peace to know, though we ne’er shall see her more.

In that beautiful city with raiment like snow, she will enter as one of the blest; The Savior finds room for the innocent and pure, in his loving arms she will rest.
