In Loving Remembrance of

Our Dear One

Effie J. Shonyo

Beloved Wife of David Adams

Died Nov. 16, 1899

Aged 33 Years

A Victorian-era mourning print with information about the deceased including her photograph. A mourning poem is near the bottom. The print carries death and funeral imagery — scrolls, flowers, crosses, anchors, and a dove — and the photograph is accented by a 'frame' of printed flowers. The print was made by The Agents Supply Com., Warren, Ohio; the photo, poem, and death information are inserted into cutouts made for those purposes.
