The April 1, 1882, issue of The Marinette Eagle includes the following obituary for Horace, the Fairchilds' second child:

“FAIRCHILD—In this village on Saturday morning, March 25th 1882 , Horace C., infant son of Charles M. and Jennie Fairchild aged 11 months.  The death was very sudden and unexpected to the bereaved parents and to the entire community.  He was a bright pretty child and had entwined himself in the affections of all who knew him.  The afflicted family have the sincere sympathies of the community.

            ‘A little angel form’s asleep,

            Beneath the starry skies;

            And our hearts are like the void that comes

            When a strain of music dies.’”
