GEORGE KLING
DIED APRIL 18, 1890.
Aged 29 years, 6 months, 2 days.
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 slumbers here
The soul is safe in Heaven.
