The memorial card

From the funeral card

In Loving Remembrance of

Mrs. Harmon Otto,

Died June 4, 1889. Aged ?? Years.

A precious one from us has gone,

A voice we loved is stilled;

A place is vacant in our home

Which never can be filled.

God, in His wisdom, has recalled

The boon His love had given,

And though the body slumbers here,

The soul is safe in Heaven.

The deceased is recorded only as 'Mrs. Harmon Otto' — her own given name does not appear on the page. The card carries no place of death. The printed name reads more like "Mrs. Harmon Otto" than "Harmon" on close inspection (2026-07-12) — not corrected here since fixing it would also require re-slugging the record (surname-given-year convention); flagged in BACKLOG.md 2026-07-12 for that call. The card's age-at-death figure and a small verse/quotation box near the top are present but illegible at this image's native resolution (194×295px, no higher-resolution source available).
