"A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved was stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled,
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given
And though the body moulders here
Their souls are safe in Heaven.

Notes:

I am pretty sure that Thomas S Ling and Lily Reynolds had only had the one child - Calvin. I hadn't seen anything indicating that there was any other child other than Calvin. I have Thomas S and Calvin's obit and nothing is mentioned about another child/sibling who may have died at a young age. Also on the 1910 census it shows that Lily has one child and one child is alive.
I noticed the 1910 census - and to me (not that I am an expert on writing), it looks like "Alvin C" I am wondering if the Ling's may have said "Calvin" and the census take thought that they said Alvin and the Ling's indicated with a "C" - and the census taker figured that was the middle initial???
I have that Calvin's dob was 9 Nov 1904 - I found that from Social Security Death Index and California Deaths, along with dod 5 Jan 1990. The obit that I have is from the Montezuma Republican. Calvin had two daughters - Barbara Ling who died 26 Jan 2004 (I found her obit on Ancestry's message board) and Doris Ling Luna.
It appears that Calvin was married twice - I have Ellen Hanson as his first wife and the mother of his children. She died in 1987 in Calif. He must have remarried a Emily L Peters, but I do not have any information on her... Lisa Wooldridge
