It seems the child was fondly attached to Peter Koford's babe. Mamie was heartbroken heart-broken over the baby's illness this week. She was a faithful watcher at the bedside of the babe. Wednesday morning it grew worse. Mamie started out to notify some relatives who lived in the northern outskirts of town. On her lonely trip along the quiet streets, the child claims she looked up into the blue heavens and there she saw her baby f r i e n d . It w a a smiling and holding out both chubby chub-by little arms to her. Frightened and perplexed by the strange vision vis-ion , M a m ie sped on . Reach! ng her destination, she told the people peo-ple the babe was dead and had gone to heaven. On beingquestioned, .uhe said no it was not dead when she left its bedside, but that she had seen it in the heavens and knew it had died. The child turned and lied back. On her way she suddenly sudden-ly fell fainting to the ground. She was taken up and borne home by kind hands. But before she reached home the spirit of her baby friend had left its mortal body and passed to the great beyond. Some will say this vision was the picture of a vivid imagination; others that the babe did linger on its way to the better world to cast one parting part-ing smile upon its dear little friend on earth. |
