Kennedy - Mabel Belle
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 26 February 1897
Mabel Belle Kennedy, the little three year old daughter of Henry C. and Mattie M. Kennedy, died Feb. 16, 1897. She was three years, two months, and fifteen days old at the time of her death. She leaves a father, mother, brother and sister, besides a great circle of relatives and friends to mourn her loss.
Of little Mabel, it was always said “to know her was to love her.” In her home she was a bright and shining star, the pride of her friends, but now she is gone. We must not weep; she is watched over by a loving Father. We will still cherish an unfading love of this tender flower until we meet in that life where no parting words shall e’er be spoken, and where tears are only tears of joy.
