The mourning card

From the funeral card

We loved her, yes, no tongue can tell

How deep, how dearly, and how well;

Christ loved her too, and thought it best

To take her home, with Him to rest.

In Loving Memory of

CATHLEEN,

The only Child of Kate and Frank Somerfield,

Who was taken home Feb. 1st. 1919.

AGED 3 YEARS AND 8 MONTHS

Interred at Bloxwich Cemetery

The card was found in Liverpool, United Kingdom. Full OCR pass of the card (2026-07-22): the cursive death-date line ("Feb. 1st. 1919") is faint at this image's native resolution — worth a second look against the original if it ever resurfaces.

Archive notes

Birth date is computed backward from the card's stated age at death and is approximate.
