Mary McLean Obituary
Oct 1909
In memory of Mrs. Mary McLean, who died October 30, 1909.
Softly evening had descended, o'er this lonely earth of ours;
Silent shadows were falling gently on the pure and faded flowers;
Swiftly came the pale robed angel through the raidiant starry skies;
And the wavering of his pinions stirred the air like zephyr sighs.
He was death; his arms had gently hushed out dear one to repose,
And in him the grieving spirit found relief from all its woes.
Fainter grew our dear one's murmering, till they gently died away;
And her form like purest marble, in a breathless slumber lay;
Swift uprising then the angel took from earth his noiseless flight,
At his side our dear one's gaurded clothed in robes of radiant light.
Her Grandson,
