The memorial card

From the funeral card

In Loving Remembrance of

Ira F. Wheeler

Born in 1855

Died Dec. 26, 1926.

Age 71 yrs. 3 mos. 23 D.

Gone but not forgotten

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 had given,

And though the body slumbers here,

The soul is safe in Heaven.
