Hi Marilyn,
I don't think you would find this on the Internet, as it seems to have
been written for the little girl by someone who knew her. Anyway, here it
is:
Daily Advance; Hollister, CA; 25 Jun 1878 --
[Martha, daughter of Phoebe and Samuel INGELS, was born in Oskaloosa,
Iowa, Sept. 6th 1856, died in her 21st year on Sunday evening, June 9th,
1878.
Marthas Gone
Gone to that throne of light
She lives not alone.
Her companions are angels bright.
The purity
Of her life -- so gentle,
Gives blest security
Now she reigns immortal.
Gone away
She lives, robed in white
Oer you always
Watching -- a spirit bright.
Suffering so
Enough to make life drear,
No one can know
How much; borne with such cheer.
Loving friends,
Why should you weep or sigh?
Lifes seeming end
For her, is life on high.
By E.E.C.
