The funeral card

From the funeral card

IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE OF

DARIUS H. COLBY

Died June 17, 1930.

Age 82 years.

Gone but not forgotten

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.

Contributor's notes
