The memorial card

From the funeral card

IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE OF

Bertha L. B. Martin,

Born June 21, 1882.

Died Dec. 13, 1908.

Age 26 yrs. 5 mos. 22 days.

Gone but not forgotten

Dearest Bertha, thou hast left us,

And our loss we deeply feel;

But 'tis God that hath bereft us,

He can all our sorrows heal.

Yet again we hope to meet thee,

When the day of life is fled,

When in Heaven with joy to greet thee,

Where no farewell tear is shed.

Copyright 1908 by H. F. Wendell & Co., Leipsic, O.
