We have lost our darling mother
She has bid us all adieu
She has gone to live in heaven
And her person is lost in view.
Oh that darling, how we loved her
Oh how hard to give her up
But an angel came down for her
And removed her from our flock.

Funeral services were conducted by Bro. Musgraves at the Christian church in Springerton February 22, 1920.
