DIED.
Albert Clute, age 15 years, 11 months and 18 days, died at the home of his mother with consumption April 3rd, 1894. The funeral services were held at his mother’s home last Thursday at 10 o’clock a.m.  He was laid to rest in the Fairfield cemetery, Rev. Mr. Barthalomen of Chicago officiating at the house and Rev. Castens of Lake Zurich at the cemetery.  A great number of friends attended the funeral.

One more bright sheaf has been garnered
In that happy home on high,
Where the heavenly hosts bade welcome
To our loved one free from sigh.

Or a sorrow which the earth gave
As he tarried with us here—
Come, we hope to be with Jesus—
Resting peaceful with him there,

Tho’ he left us here in weeping
Know we that he lives again
In this happy home above us,
Singing Heaven’s glad refrain.

Welcomed by the one before him,
Reunited there for aye;
There two loved and happy souls are
Watching for the coming day.

When the whole family will there be gathered,
To be parted never more;
There to swell the choral anthem,
As on earth the days of yore.

Then we know they’re watching, waiting,
E’en to catch the first faint light
Of the beacon of the boatman
Who will ferry thro’ the night.

O’er the dark and stormy waters,
Thro’ death’s stormy, silent shade—
We, who’re left to mourn the loved ones,
Still remembering Him who said:

“Suffer the little ones to come unto me,”
With a pure and holy life given,
“And forbid them not,
“For such is the Kingdom of Heaven.”

And at death’s silent, white robed angel
Cast a heaven-born smile on him
Who has left us, I know he said
“The Lord hath need of thee; come unto Him.”

The News extends its sympathy to the bereaved family.
