In Loving Remembrance Of
Obdulia Becker
Died Aug, 10, 1901
Age 11 yrs. 6 mos. 14 dats
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 slumbers here
The soul is safe in heaven.
