The funeral card

From the funeral card

Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep.

From which none ever wakes to weep.

Loving Remembrance of

Mrs. Margaret Gump.

Died November 3d, 1891.

Aged 66 years, 3 months, 6 days.

We miss thee from our home, dear mother

We miss thee from the place.

A shadow o'er our life is cast.

We miss the sunshine of thy face:

We miss thy kind and willing hand,

Thy fond and earnest care,

Our home is dark without thee

We miss thee everywhere.
