The memorial card

From the funeral card

In Loving Remembrance of

Mrs. Loy McKee,

Born June 10, 1880.

Died Dec. 19, 1903.

Age 23 yrs. 6 mos. 19 days.

A precious one from us has gone,

A voice we loved is 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 slumbers here,

The soul is safe in Heaven.

The card reads "Mrs. Loy McKee" — a typographical variant of Mrs. Loyd McKee. Her own given name does not appear on the card; the identification of her maiden name as Cina Estella Wilson is the original submission's suggestion, not certain. The card's printed age (23 yrs. 6 mos. 19 days) is 10 days more than the exact interval between the birth and death dates given (23 years, 6 months, 9 days). The card also has an illustration of a woman in Victorian dress kneeling at a cross, one hand resting on an open Bible; card was found with another Wilson family photo.
