 |  MERTY, CORNELIA'S FIRSTBORN, NOW ALMOST 18, DEPARTS QUICKLY FOR NEW ORLEANS.
There was no opportunity for Cornelia to say good-bye. Merty was sent to family and friends in hope of finding employment. Within two years he died in New Orleans of yellow fever.
Do not allow your heart to be wounded, and if it is wounded in spite of your efforts, stitch up the wound with the love of God. –CC |
