In Loving Remembrance of
S. Powell Hampton,
Died Oct. 1, 1888.
Aged 66 years, 9 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.
