Fell asleep in Jesus, December 4th, 1866, Miss Heneretta E. Sigwald, eldest daughter of
Mrs. L. Balojan, in the 21st year of her age.  Thus early was the precious treasure torn
from the embrace of doting parents and relatives.  Permitted to look upon this earth for
a short time, she was taken by angels to add one more to their Heavenly choice.
Sweetest girl, no longer shall we enjoy thy happy laugh; no more shall we see thy cheerful
countenance; but we can in fancy, behold thee in Heaven.  Weep not, then, fond parents,
remembering your dear Hennie is in better keeping than could be possible in this world;
the cloud which overshodows you, and renders your heart devoted, is big with mercy; and, 
though all around you appears dark and mysterious, yet such are the ways of God; endeavor, 
therefore, to bow in submission to His Divine will.  Our darling Hennie in now, Transpianted
to the sky, Where, in loveliness, she'll bloom, Beneath her Maker's eye.  A few
short years she spent with us, to brighten up our homes, But soon, alas Death's
summons came, and we are left to roam, Would you call her back to earth, 'Midst the
sins of this vain life? No, she happier now will be, Free from sorrow, toil and strife.
