Contributor's notes

In Remembrance of the Death of Anna G. Rohrer who died May 5 1893. Aged 55 years, 7 months, and 19 days.

Gold lettering on a black card; printed on the card are the Holy Bible and an eight-line poem dedicated to mother. The gold printer's logo on the back reads "MEMORIAL CARDS by G. S. Utter & Co, 115 Franklin St, Chicago, Illinois." This Victorian card was obtained in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania — where the card surfaced, not necessarily where Anna died.
