The memorial card

From the funeral card

IN MEMORY OF

FLORENCE L. ATKINSON

Died Nov. 12, 1885, aged 19 years.

A precious one from us has gone,

A voice we loved is still,

A place is vacant in our home

Which never can be filled.

God, in His wisdom, has recalled

The boon His love has given,

And altho' the body moulders here,

The soul is safe in heaven.
