The LaFayette Sun
From the June 2, 1920 issue of The LaFayette Sun:
Her death came as a shock to her many friends. After a short illness of 
acute indigestion the sweet spirit winged its way to the dreamland of the 
soul, where it will seek the slumber of peace until the resurrection morn.

Come, my dear Lord, and comfort me,
In my afflicted state
I am bereft, as you may see,
Of my loving mate.
Her heart was bound with mine by love
Good works to maintain,
But she is gone to Christ above,
Forever there to reign.
My children cry, no mother by
To comfort or to keep;
The sorrow is great - it doeth create
Much grief, as all may see.
But dearest wife, I know not why
That thou wert called from me,
But God His will doth fulfill
These things we ought to know,
That he has carried thee safely home.
Where troubles are no more. 
Thou wert the idol of my heart,
The comfort of my mind.
But now I'm left to mourn alone
Till Jesus calls me to His arms.
Where thou hast gone to wait for me
On Canaan's happy shore
Thy memory, dear, shall be cherished here
As long as life shall be,
And then I hope with thee to be,
Nevermore to part.
One who loved her dearly, Her old teacher, M.C.B.
