The funeral card

From the funeral card

The Angel of Peace

In Loving Rememberance of William Bell

Died January 16, 1929

Age 6 years.

We had a little treasure once, He was our joy and pride, We love him, ah perhaps too well, For soon he slept and died,

Allis dark within our dwelling, Lonely are our heart today, For the one we loved so dearly, Has forever passed away.

The card was found in Wisconsin. Original spelling preserved, including "Rememberance" and "Allis dark".
