The funeral card

From the funeral card

To the memory of

Charles E. Nichols

Died Jan. 8, 1903 Aged 26y. 4m. 16d.

'Tis hard to break the tender cord

When love has bound the heart,

'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words,

"We must forever part."

Dearest loved one, we have laid thee

In the peaceful grave's embrace,

But thy memory will be cherished

Till we see thy heavenly face.

The card carries no place of death — Michigan is where the card surfaced, not necessarily where Charles died.
