From the funeral card

Card of Remembrance for Mrs. E.M. Belling who died on August 5th, 1894. Her age at the time of her death was 27 years, 9 months.

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 carries a mounted photograph of the deceased at the top and was made by Globe M.O. Co. of Philadelphia. The photograph that originally accompanied this record is no longer held in the archive.
