William H. Bovee Dies of Diphtheria

By Horace Bowen

DIED *of diphtheria, at his father's residence near Liverpool, Onondaga Co., N. Y., Feb. 12, 1863, William H., son of William and Rebecca Bovee, aged 6 years and 10 months. This is the second time within a year that death has entered the abode of our beloved brother and sister. They deeply mourn their loss, and notwithstanding their afflictions are severe, they bear them with Christian fortitude. They do not mourn as those that have no hope; for they are with us in the belief that the great Life-giver will soon come and render unto their loved ones that now sleep in Jesus, immortality and eternal life.

Horace Bowen.
