The memorial card

From the funeral card

In Loving Remembrance of

W. D. Sale,

Died Dec. 25, 1892.

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 has given,

And though the body slumbers here,

The soul is safe in heaven.

The card carries no place of death — California is where the card was found, not necessarily where W. D. Sale died.
