TODO:

There is no Death what seems so is transition
This life of Mortal Breath
Is but a Suburb of the Life Elysian
Whose portal we call Death.

In Loving Remembrance
Of
Mrs. Jacob Gugger
Died May 14, 1891.
Aged 50 Yrs., 3 Mos., 17 Ds.

A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.

God in his wisdom has recalled,
The boon His love had given;
And though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.
