The memorial card

From the funeral card

There is no Death! what seems so is transition;

This life of Mortal breath

Is but a suburb of the life elysian,

Whose portal we call Death.

In Loving Remembrance of

Mrs. George B. Davis,

Died Nov. 14, 1888. Aged 58 years, 11 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 moulders here,

The soul is safe in Heaven.
