Interment was in Riverside cemetery.

Farewell dear Mother, sweet thy rest,
Wear with years and worn with pain;
Farewell, ‘till in some happy place
We shall behold thy face again.
Tis ours to miss thee all our years
And tender memories of thee keep.
Thine in the Lord to rest, for so
‘He giveth His beloved sleep.
