From the funeral card

In Loving Remembrance Of Mrs. Edward Whitefield

Died July 18, 1913

Age 72 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.

Copyright 1898 by Wendell & Co., Leipsic, Ohio.

The card was found in Florida. Her given name does not appear on the card — she is identified only as the wife of Edward Whitefield, whose own funeral card (died February 16, 1916) is also in this archive. The photograph that originally accompanied this record is no longer held in the archive.
