John Butler Jennison, second son of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Jennison, departed this life Sunday, Dec. 22nd, 1894. Although but five and a half years old, he had made many friends by his attractions and happy manner. His sudden death is an overwhelming affliction to his disconsolate parents. He was not very sick until Saturday afternoon, when the doctor pronounced his disease spasmodic croup, and not alarming. But in spite of the doctor’s prescriptions he grew worse until death came. So bright and sweet, the joy of the house, his sudden death is an incomprehensible calamity to his family and friends. The little boy had been helping his brother get ready for Christmas and a joyous time was anticipated in that household. Now, all is changed to sadness, yet his parents have the consolation of knowing that their boy is in that land where sorrow is no more, and where there will be no more parting.  The funeral will be held at 10 o’clock Wednesday morning, Dec. 26th, at the house.  – thanks so very much to “S” for all her typing
