Peck - Orval
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 6 September 1895
Orval Martin Peck, son of William and Emorine Peck, was born Sept. 7, 1893, and died Sept. 1, 1895, aged 1 year, 11 months and 24 days. While death is no respecter of persons, we are made to feel that sometimes he claims for his own the fairest and dearest ones, and while papa and mamma can no longer clasp to their bosom the one they have so much loved, and while his baby voice is to them forever stilled, yet by faith they can view the heavenly land and hear his little voice echo back from the angel chorus and know that he is with Jesus, who has bid the children come. So father and mother can only look to Him, who alone can bind together the broken hearted and comfort the bowed down, and through whom they can meet their darling baby. On Monday at 12 o’clock short services were held at the grave by Rev. Trotter, after which all that was mortal of little Orval was laid to rest in the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery at Darlington. .- thanks so much to “S” for all her typing
