In loving and affectionate remem-
brance of our darling daughter and sis
ter, Vivian Irene Mayberry, who depart
ed this life, January s, 1912, after an
illness of three months, aged II years.
IL months and 23 days.
Two long years have passed, Vivian,
Since you left that awful night;
Happy without you we can never be.
For our very hearts are aching for You.
Vivian, Oh how we do miss you,
No one else but us can tell,
But God sent an angel from heaven
And took you home to dwell.
Now, there is voice that is silent,
There is heart that Is still;
There is form now sweetlv sleeping,
In the graveyard at Doe Run.
There is another angel singing,
With the blessed saints above;
But our sad hearts need not mourn, =
For we know that God is love.
There is not walk we take,
There is not flower we see,
But that brings to our mind some hope
that has fled,
Some Joy we have lost with you,
Vivian.
So now the moon and stars are shining,
Upon a lonely, lonely grave,
For Vivian we had to lay you in the
family lot,
Where none was laid before.
We go often to your grave,
Lingering there trying to be brave;
But, Oh Vivian, tbs hard to bear,
To go away and leave you there.
Although your hands we cannot clasp,
Your face we cannot see,
Yet we hope and trust to meet you.
In your bright and new home above.
BY day your spirits hovers near us.
By night it calms our rest.
For we sweetly hear you calling,
"The way of the cross leads home"
God in his wisdom did recall,
The boon his eye had given.
But though your body slumbers here,
We know your soul is safe in heaven.
We remember you often said when sick,
"Some day the silver cords would
break,
But OH the joy when you should wake,
And see your saviour face to face"
Our home is all sad and lonely,
Since you have gone away.
But we will try and be brave,
For one by one we will have to come
to meet you.
We know dear Vivian, you are at rest,
Free from all sickness, cain and dis
tress.
But your father, mother, sisters and
brothers:
We sigh, weep, we pray for you.

Up in the heavens behind the gates Of
gold,
And sadly do we miss you, Vavian,
Miss you more than tongue can tell
But how much you suffered no one know!
And oh! so young you had to go,
Twas only eighteen years you were
with us,
When our family chain was broken.
We could hardly realize when we saw,
The death angel had came and claim
ed you.
1t was bitter grief, shock severe,
To part from one we loved SO dear.
Vivian, you are gone on before us,
And your soul is safe in heaven.
Where tears are wiped from every eye,
And sorrow is unknown.
You are gone but not forgotten,
By all who loved you deaf
| God loved you, too, he thought it best
To take you home to be at rest.
Hands of our darling daughter AM
sister,
| Beckening her father, mother, sister
and brothers,
Come join her in her peaceful rest,
Where she is safe in her Saviour arms.
Hence patiently we are waiting,
For Gods will must be done,
To join you in that happy home,
From you no more to part or roam,
Peace be your silent slumber, deare.
Sister,
In your grave so low,
You no more shall join our number,
You no more our sorrows know.
Yet again we hope to meet you.
When the day of life is DER,
And in heaven we hope to greet You,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Dear Jesus, let our hopes be not in vair
And when we leave this earth forevei
With dear Vivian once again
That we shall all be united in Heaven
Sadly missed by parents, sisters an
brothers,
Sister Efie.
