IN
LOVING MEMORY OF
MARTHA AMELIA,
BELOVED WIFE OF WILLIAM SCOTT,
WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE
NOVEMBER . 17TH . 1905,
AGED 63 YEARS.
"AT REST"
" O LAMB OF GOD, I COME"

WHY SHOULD OUR TEARS IN SORROW FLOW
WHEN GOD RECALLS HIS OWN;
AND BIDS THEM LEAVE A WORLD OF WOE
FOR AN IMMORTAL CROWN?

IS NOT EVEN DEATH A GAIN TO THOSE
WHOSE LIFE TO GOD WAS GIVEN?
GLADLY TO EARTH THEIR EYES THEY CLOSE
TO OPEN THEM IN HEAVEN.

ALSO OF HER BELOVED HUSBAND
WILLIAM SCOTT,
WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE
APRIL . 4TH . 1913
AGED 72 YEARS
"PEACE, PERFECT PEACE, IN THIS DARK WORLD OF SIN?
THE BLOOD OF JESUS WHISPERS PEACE WITHIN."
