Only be prepared to meet her in heaven, where there will be no farewell tears shed and where we will never say goodbye. Funeral services were conducted by Brother Avery. She was laid to rest in Land mark Cemetery. A precious one from us is gone,
 A voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our home
 That never can be filled. Thou art gone, our precious Pearl
 Nevermore canst thou return. You vii sleep a peaceful slumber
 Till the resurrection morn. We have lost our darling Pearl.
 She has bid us all farewell She is gone to be with Jesus,
 And her form is lost to view. Over wonder in the graveyard,
 There is a new made mound. And dear Pear lis sleeping
 In the cold ana silent ground. 'Tis true it is hard to give her up. The one you dearly love, But God was pleased to call her home To dwell with him above. Dear mother weeps, and father too, But still she had to go. She left this world wiekedness
 To come back nevermore. Weep not dear husband for she is
 gone.
 We. too. must soon follow on. And breathe our last and latest

 Then close our eyes, sink down in
