The Mirror, March 23, 1882. Oda Lucy Virts, died at her parents, Mr.
J. L. Virts, near Oatlands, Va., on Thursday 15th of March after a short illness of 6 days, 15 years of age. She leaves a father, mother, 5 sisters and 7 brothers.
Sweet Oda Lucy has gone to rest,
With the angels in heaven forever blest.
Oh may we all in future prepare,
To most our dearly beloved one there.
She will silently sleep beneath the tomb,
Since called by Death to hear her doom.
The Saviour summoned her away,
That's why she could no longer stay.
She called her friends all up at night,
And kissed them all good bye.
And then she vanished from our sight,
To that sweet home on high.
A FRIEND
