The memorial card

From the funeral card

HOLY BIBLE

IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE OF

Homer T. Bryant.

DIED AUGUST 26, 1898.

Aged 12 years, 1 month, 1 day.

HOLY BIBLE

Blooms of summer and trees of old,

Shapes that faded and seemed to die;

Things more precious than gems of gold,

God has stored in His house on high.

Wind and billows and ruthless tides,

All your triumphs are forever past,

He has gone to a fairer clime,

Where lost treasures are found at last.

Two-page open-Bible card; left page carries the heading, right page the verse. The memorial verse is transcribed from the card photograph.
