NIXON, Jere. Nichols – (d. 1853)

DIED – In this City, on Saturday the 23rd instant, Jere. Nichols, son of Jeremiah and Elizabeth NIXON, aged 2 years, 9 months and 19 days.

“Gone from the hearts that loved him,
Gone from his home away –
Gone in his childish beauty,
Like flowers in May.

Gone like the moonlight’s glimmer
From off the rippling stream;
Gone like the joyous pictures
Of childhood’s glowing dream.

He dwelleth now and kneeleth
Beside the throne of God,
In praise to Him who raiseth
The spriti from the sod.”
