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.


In either Mack or Cornelia's handwriting:

"Sacred to the Memory of Our Darling Babe --- Esther Gertrude Davis --- Was Born September the 6th 1886, And Died September the 19th 1887, Aged 1 Year 13 Days - She Was Sick Two Monts [sic] Before Her Death And Her Suffering Was Very Great."
