The memorial card
From the funeral card
In Loving Remembrance of
David C. Clapper,
Died Dec. 29, 1898.
Age 55 years.
'Tis hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart,
'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words:
"We must forever part."
Dearest loved one we must lay thee
In the peaceful grave's embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
'Till we see thy heavenly face.
