The memorial card

From the funeral card

In Affectionate Remembrance of

ARTHUR THOMAS,

The beloved Son of Arthur & Mary Francis,

Who departed this life July 26th, 1869,

AGED 9 MONTHS.

In happiness pure he is dwelling now,

A glorious crown now encircles his brow;

He bloomed a sweet flower while on earth he was given,

But Oh! far more sweetly he dwells now in Heaven.
