The memorial card

From the funeral card

Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep,

From which none ever wakes to weep.

IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE OF

Oscar Williams,

Died January 15, 1890.

Aged 19 yr's 5 mon's and 3 days.

Peaceful be thy silent slumber,

Peaceful in thy grave so low;

Thou no more will join our number,

Thou no more our song wilt know.

Yet again we hope to meet thee,

When the day of life is fled;

And in Heaven with joy to greet thee,

Where no farewell tears are shed.
