The funeral card

From the funeral card

In loving remembrance of

Catharine McInerney

died april 12 1899

age 75 years

Farewell dear Mother, sweet thy rest, weary with years and worn with pain.

Farewell, till in some happy place we shall behold thy face again.

Tis ours to miss thee, all our years, and tender memories of thee keep thine in the Lord to rest, for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

Copyrighted 1898 by H.F. Wendell

A gold-printed remembrance card, found in Illinois — where it surfaced, not necessarily where Catharine died. The legacy index spells the name Catherine; the card itself reads Catharine.
