From the funeral card

In Loving Remembrance Of Edward Whitefield

Died Feb. 16, 1916

Age 74 years

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.

The photograph that originally accompanied this record is no longer held in the archive. This archive also holds the funeral card of his wife, Mrs. Edward Whitefield, who died July 18, 1913.
