The funeral card

From the funeral card

To the Memory of

Elizabeth Whitney,

Died Oct. 3, 1900.

Aged, 94 years, 11 months, 14 days.

Tis' hard to break the tender cord,

When love has bound the heart,

Tis' hard, so hard to speak the words,

We must forever part.

Dear mother we have laid you,

In the peaceful graves embrace,

But thy memory shall be cherished,

Till we see thy heavenly face.
