The funeral card

From the funeral card

In Loving Remembrance

Lera B. Hyde,

Died November 11, 1888.

Aged 50 Years & 24 Days.

'Tis hard to break the tender cord,

When love has bound the heart,

'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words,

Must we forever part?

Dearest loved one, we have laid thee

In the peaceful grave's embrace,

But thy memory will be cherished

Till we see thy heavenly face.
