In Memoriam - Died in Frisco Tuesday28 Jan 1890 Frank Farnsworth age 14 years.
 
Truly"Death loves a shining mark" exemplified in the case of Frank Farnsworth.  These few simple words tell us of a beautiful young life gone from our midst in the bloom of you hand as I write pause to think why this flower was made to bless the world but for such a short time.  Time may never reveal the wisdom of God in thus plucking this good young life from his home and associates are the dreams of youth were realized his dreams of heaven.  But eternity will be surely unfold in all this the purity the wisdom the tenderness of the love of Him who is "too wise to err too good to be unkind" and will show to us wherein this afflicting dispensation was necessary for our good and for God's glory.  He was intelligent young and beautiful and was loved by every one.  "None knew him but to love him none named him but to praise."  God truly loves the good and had need of Frank in his mansion.  When He called He found him ready.  Frank was a consistent boy and was  indeed an example of faith as exemplified on his deathbed.
 
O, uncle and friends weep not.  I will soon be at rest-
Beautiful rest where the weary are blest.
To each one dear he bade adieuAnd pleadingly said be faithful and true.
 
O, friends weep not.  I will soon be at rest
Those who are nearest-faithful friends Loving brothers and kind sisters --
May God quite them and unbroken band
Oh the shores of Heaven on the golden strand.
 
We miss him ever who loved him so well.
Oft will our bosoms in loneliness swell
When we look for the form and patient face
Of dear Frank who has finished the race.
 
Brothers, sisters and friends turn away from the grief that surrounds you and talk of Frank by the fireside and the grave and think of him as only gone before to attract and welcome you to that sun-bright clime.  May we all too live as secure an abundant entrance into that building not made with hands and there be greeted by the voice of Frank -- "Welcome Home."  J. M. C.
