From Liverpool Cemetery, Liverpool, NY:
Loves last token
From South Onondaga Cemetery, Syracuse, NY area:
A precious one from
us has gone
The voice beloved
is stilled
A place is vacant
in our home
which never can
be filled.
Of life the tiresom [sic] journey's past.
We drop into the tomb at last:
Great Inn; where all our sorrows cease
And kings & peasants rest in peace.
Afflictions so
Long time I bore
Physicians were in vain
Till God was pleas'd
To give me ease,
And free me from
my pain.
From Oakland Cemetery, Atlanta, GA:
Born Feb. 13, 1873; Died Nov. 15, 1874
Fannie Lowry Porter
Born Nov. 5, 1877; Died May 11, 1879
They were little sunbeams
That shone upon our way;
And cheered us but a moment
Ere they passed away.

A lover of people. A fighter to the end. God be with him til we meet again.

On the reverse:
An expression of sorrow and farewell
to a great leader and a true friend
From Rome Cemetery, Rome, NY:
"Even for the dead I will not bind
My soul to grief, death cannot long divide,
For is it not as if the rose that climbed
My garden wall had bloomed the other side?"
