The memorial card

From the funeral card

In Loving Remembrance of

Mrs. Magdalene Stacker

Died Aug. 31, 1894. Aged 38 years 9 mon 2 days

Weep not that her toils are over,

Weep not that her race is run,

God grant we may rest as calmly,

When our work, like hers, is done.

Till then we yield with gladness,

Our Mother to Him to keep,

And rejoice in the sweet assurance,

"He giveth His beloved sleep."

The photographed image holds two memorial cards side by side: Mrs. Magdalene Stacker (left, d. 31 Aug 1894) and Fritz Stacker (right, d. 2 Sept 1905, transcribed on his own record). Magdalene's age corrected to '38 years 9 mon 2 days' 2026-06-29. Fritz's card text was previously duplicated here with an incorrect year (transcribed as '1895') even after his own record (stacker-fritz-1905, which correctly reads 1905 from the card) already existed; removed 2026-07-12 as redundant now that both records are cross-linked via relatedRecords.
