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.
