She is not dead but sleepeth

A calm and untroubled sleep

Sickness and sorrow are o’er

Sighing and tears she knows no more

And wherefore I should weep

She is not dead but sleepeth

And from the grave shall rise

And clothed in robes of heavenly light

Shall welcome in her upward flight

Her Saviour in the skies

W.H. Linam

Born June 10, 1802

Died Sept. 16, 1882

True we know tis but the casket

We have hidden from our sight

In our Father’s crown the jewel

Gleams forever pure and bright

So we try to bow in silence

‘Neath the blow that on us fell

Knowing He whose hand had dealth

Ever dealth all things well.

Sacred to the memory of Henry E. Linam

Who was born Aug. 7^th, 1848

And died June 30^th, 1849
