The following versus were written on the death of Miss Edna Yeoman, who died Apr 21, 1891.

One chair is vacant in our home
Dear Edna no more is there
Oh, how we miss her smiling face
We miss her everywhere.

She suffered long here below
in this world of sin and pain
Although we miss her very much
Our loss is but She gain

She left us here to weep and mourn-
She has crossed to that heavenly shore,
Where sickness, sorrow, pain and death,
Are not and feared no more.

We mourn for our departed one
Why, we cannot tell;
Her absence darkens our old home,
She has gone to Heaven to dwell.
