The funeral card

From the funeral card

In Loving Remembrance of

HOLY BIBLE

Wm. C. Bean,

DIED APRIL 3, 1898.

Age 89 Yrs. 3 Mos. 19 Days.

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 though the body slumbers here

The soul is safe in heaven.
