The memorial card

From the funeral card

In Loving Remembrance of

Emory F. Crocker,

Died Dec. 3, 1892.

Aged 45 Years,

"One less at home! The charmed circle broken—a dear face Missed day by day from its usual place, But cleansed, saved, perfected by grace, One more in heaven."

"One less on earth! Its pain, its sorrow and its toil to share, One less the pilgrim's daily cross to bear, One more the crown of the blessed to wear, At home in heaven!"

The original is a black memorial card with gold print. The card carries no place of death; the blog post associated Emory Crocker with Wyoming County, New York via the 1880 census.
