The funeral card

From the funeral card

In Loving Remembrance of

Charles S. Morgan

Died April 27, 1892,

Aged 21 Yrs. 3 Mos. 23 Days

One more break in a happy band,

One more home that is desolate now,

One more harp in an angel's hand,

One more harp on an angel's brow.

One more form that we loved so well,

Sleeping awhile beneath the sod,

One more soul that has gone to swell

Songs of praise to the Lamb of God.

The card carries no place. Header, name, and date/age lines are clearly legible; the closing verse is transcribed from small, low-contrast gold-on-black print and should be checked against the original card if a clearer scan becomes available.
