The memorial card

From the funeral card

IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE OF

Amos Martin,

Born June 2, 1843.

Died April 8, 1907.

Age 63 yrs. 10 mos. 4 days.

Gone but not forgotten

Call not back the dear departed,

Anchored safe where storms are o'er;

On the border land we left him,

Soon to meet and part no more.

When we leave this world of changes,

When we greet him free of care,

We shall find our missing loved one

In our Father's mansion fair.

Copyright 1911 by H. F. Wendell, Leipsic, O.
