The memorial card

From the funeral card

Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep,

From whom none ever wakes to weep.

In Loving Remembrance of

Clara May Frain,

Died June 16, 1891.

Aged 24 years, 7 months, 12 days.

Sleeping in thy recent slumber,

Peaceful in thy grave so low;

We no more shall join our number,

Thou no more our sorrows know.

Yet again we hope to meet thee,

When the day of life is fled;

And in Heaven with joy to greet thee,

Where no farewell tears are shed.

The memorial verse is transcribed from the card image.
