Esther Gertrude Davis, 1886 - 1887

On the banner: "Not Lost, but Gone Before"

Poem:

A precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. Safe in the Arms of Jesus, Safe on his gentle breast, There by his love o'er shadowed, Sweetly my soul shall rest.
