In Memory of Our Mother.

DIED - On October 20th, 1899, at her residence, East End, New Iberia, La., 
MRS. EMMA MORGAN, aged 52 years.

Our beloved Mother has been taken from us to shine in the Sanctuary of 
heaven. Her low sweet voice now joins in the heavenly choir that sings 
around the mercy seat. She has passed through the gates of the eternal city, 
where sickness, sorrow and death never come. Never again will we hear that 
sweet voice, whose affectionate greeting has so often sent a thrill of 
delight to our hearts. She has gone; alas ! it is too true. Her insensible 
form is at rest and sleeps in a cold grave far from the home of her 
childhood.

Mother, dear Mother, thou art gone. No grim shadows fall athwart that 
blessed land where thou hast thy abode. Deep in the sanctuary of our hearts 
and home is a hallowed place where thou hast been. Other loved ones may 
crowd around us, but none other than thee can fill this sacred spot. One 
strong link is severed which binds thy loved ones to earth: one strong link 
is formed which draws them on to the eternal abode of the blest, where the 
loved and cherished on earth shall never part. Sleep on, dear mother, while 
the angels vigil keep, rest forever more; for with old memories we weep as 
never before.

One thought our spirit cheers;
The time will come
When earth will fold us to her breast
And we with you will sweetly rest,
Safe at home.

HER CHILDREN.
