Baltimore County Advocate
April 24, 1858

STILTZ, CATHARINE     In Baltimore, on the 18th instant, at the residence of her 
daughter, No. 319 Hanover st., Mrs. Catharine Stiltz, in her 89th year.

GUYTON, WILLIAM     Suddenly, on the 18th instant, near Cockeysville, William, in the 
15th year of his age, eldest son of James and Rachel Guyton, formerly of Baltimore.

LEE, TEMPERENCE P.     Departed this life on the 15th inst., Temperence P. Lee, aged 14 
years and 2 months, daughter of the late Elizabeth and Wm. Lee.

Sleep on sweetly, my sister, until the joyful sound is heard; 
when the trumpet shall sound to wake the dead,
  “Then burst the tomb in sweet surprise,
  And meet your Saviour in the skies.”

  Rest, sister, rest, thy spirit’s gone,
  An angel’s hand conveyed thee home;
  Oh, may thy body rest in peace,
  And all thy sorrows ever cease.

  I’ve gazed upon thy clay-cold face,
  And tried some mark of life to trace,
  O! speak, dear sister, once to me
  Before thee lands on calvary.

  My cup of sorrow’s running o’er,
  And joys that were, shall be no more;
  Then, sister, kindly bid me come;
  And heaven shall be our lasting home.

  We’ll join our friends who’ve gone before,
  And all our trouble will be o’er;
  A token of thy memory give,
  And teach me rather die than live.
  
  Make me feel and own his grace
  Whose home’s a happy resting place;
  Oh sister, how I think of thee,
  Though thou art in eternity.

  No, not while breath remains in me,
  Will I cease to think of thee;
  My memory on thy face shall dwell,
  And breathe the sacred word – farewell.
Towsontown.
