Baruch, Mark (JUN 1885 - 16 FEB 1886)

Died, in this city (Neillsville, Clark County), Tuesday, Feb. 16, 1886, at 11:30 p.m., Mark, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Baruch, aged 8 months.

The little one had been ailing for some time, but its parents were hopeful of its recovery. Yesterday, however, all hope was abandoned and at 11:30 p.m. the little soul took its flight to heaven. Gone, before its presence in the world was hardly known outside of the family circle gone, before its little tongue had learned to lisp the names of the parents who idolized him gone to the savior with its little soul as pure and spotless as the driven snow. Heaven itself will be better for the acquisition of this bright little spirit.

"For of such is the kingdom of Heaven." In the great world the little darling will not be missed but in the hearts of those loving parents, oh what a void. He who doth all things for the best will comfort them, and the kindly sympathy of warm friends will help assuage their grief.
