He went as an angel from earth to glory, after a sickness of thirty-six days of severe fever which he bore with patience. When taken sick he was under conviction, and the Lord was mighty to save. He left evident proof that he was a happy boy before he died. During his sickness he sang some beautiful hymns and clapped his hands as he sang, "I am happy on the way." A few days before his death he told a friend, who was his nurse all through his sickness: "I am not afraid to die." A few hours afterwards, looking his pa in the face a moment or two, he turned his eyes heavenward and said, "Bless the Lord!" This is consolation enough that Oscar has gone to rest. Oscar left many warm friends to mourn his loss with the bereaved family. Note
