Viers - Berthie
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal, 11 February 1893
Berthie Lou Viers, the two year old daughter of William and Mary Viers, died on Jan. 30. A tender bud has been plucked from a mother's arms long before the soft zephrys had blown it into full bloom. Quietly and peacefully it lies sleeping'mid flowers of wild profusion. The mother kisses the babe once more and folds the little hands across its breast, sadly murmuring Gone into the arms of Jesus who suffered little children to come unto Him." How sad is life with ail the cares and responsibilities. - thanks to Kim H
