Obituary found glued inside an old family photo album:
Hira Haworth, second son of Dr. Eli Haworth, (of May Port, Florida) departed this life on the 24th inst., in the eighteenth year of his age, after a long and protracted illness, in which he bore his sufferings with great heroic fortitude, never complaining but always striving to appear better than he really was, and in conversation was ever ready with some happy illustration, tending to mirth rather than gloom, with such Christian simplicity as showing the illuminating influence of his mind for happiness, both here and hereafter. Death had no terror, saying it was nothing to him, only a door to Heaven, the portal to eternal joy. The deep affection he bore and exhibited for his mother on all occasions will long be remembered by his relatives and friends; a few hours before his departure on waking from slumber, he told his father he had a glorious dream, glorious to him, and many other expressions showing that as death approached, his spirit was being transported to the haven of rest to be an inhabitant of that city which hath foundations, whose maker and builder is God.
His last act was to part with his earthly treasures, which had been so highly prized--never allowing some of them to leave his sight. His dear mother, in death as in life, received his choice gifts, to his only brother and dear sister he gave the balance; to his father he had made a valuable present the day before. And turning over a little as for rest, a few minutes after he breathed his last, as serene and quiet as in sleep. It was the sleep of death, but his spirit went to God who gave it.
His remains were interred the following day at St. Pablow [sic], attended by many friends.
May Port, 5th mo. 30th, 1871.
