Died at her residence in Coventry [Chenango Co., NY], Agnes, beloved wife of Harry R Lindsley, aged 29 years, 3 months and 19 days. Interment at Lanesboro Sunday.
We miss thee, dearest Agnes;
We miss thee every day.
Death might have claimed another,
And let our Agnes stay.
Although our hearts are broken
And our heads with grief bowed down.
We know thou art with angels,
A star in Jesus' crown.
Rest, Agnes, rest; thy task is done,
Thy work on earth is o'er
We'll try to live, while here below,
To meet on the Heavenly shore.
