IT'S hard TO give our grandma up,
But God who Snoweth best,
Has taken her from this world of pain
And carried her home TO rest
Gone to a fairer cline than this,
Beyond the reach of pain and sorrow;
Her spirit liyeth bow in bliss,
And waits deathless morrow.
She left memory, so fair. SO sweet,
It's fragrance ne'er can die,
Her life was ripe and all complete
When she was called on high.

beloved wife Of j. Walter MattingIy, in
the 3ist year of her age. She was true
Christian, q good neighbor, a kind and
loving mother, and faithful and devoted
wife.
Now this golden thread is broken,
Her work on earth is done,
Her trials all are ended,
Her heavenly crown is won.
This sad and lonely household,
Win miss her loving hands,
Her children, loving, clinging,
Without her aid must stand.
When the grass grows green above me,
And the springtime blossoms wave,
Take my little children, husband
Lead them to their mothers grave,
Tell them while the birds are singing,
And the blossoms deck the sod,
That their mothers soul is resting,
In the paradise of God.
Jesus, while our heartsare bleeding!
Ger the spoils that death has won,
We would, at this solemn meeting,
Calmly say thy will be done.
Though cast down, we're not forsaken;
Though afflicted, not alone;
Thou didst give and Thou hast taken,
Blessed Lord, Thy viii be donel
By her Husband.
