To the Memory of
Mrs. J. J. Kirklandi
Mrs; Kirkland was born in Pike
Co., Qa.j May 28,1845. She em-
braced Christ in 1860 and join-
ed the Baptist church at Old
Floyd Hill, near Cusseta, Cass
Co. Texas. She was married to
Mr. J. J. Kirkland, Dec. 5,1868.
OhI Our mother ia gon«, how
sad to think on that, eventful
day, .vbeu mothers voice was
hushed. Her eyes closed; her
body was stilled in death and we
knew we must say farewell moth-
er, we can't see your bright eyes
nor hear your sweet voice again.
Oh mother! We would not cull
you back again, if w« ^ouldji
though thn fewest and bappy
hours ever spent in your presence
is a pleasure in our hearts today.
But alas! alas! to bring you hack
again, with a boddy tacked with
pain, nay! never could we consent
to ursher Such a pain on thy
sweet frame. For we firmly be-
lieve your sweet, christian life and
influence was so great that God
takes care of your sweet soul in
perfect ease and joy^
We often think of the kindly
and christian advice our mother
always gave us from our earliest
recollection, and now our highest
hopes and greatest desires is to
meet you, dear mother, in heav-
en, when the summons comes for
us to go.
Our mother leaves her husband
(our iatnfi jf o ouLji and 2 daugh-
ters, a nnmber of^ grandchildren
and a host of other ivJeJrJrs.>rctJx?
friends, who deeply regret her
death. Our mother died June the
5, 1923, on the old homestead
right, where she spant her girl-
hood dayaand was married with-
in the same house in. which she
died. Her husband J. J. Kirk-
land having purchased her fath-
ers old homestead.
Now our mother sleeps beneath
the pinks, lilacs and roses in old
Corinth cemetery, 7 miles north-
west of Linden, Cass Co., Texas.
It's with sad hearts for mother's
death, but bright hopes of a hap-
py reunion when we meet our
mother again iu the resurection
morning, that we linger long and
late at the newly made mound
where mother sleeps, but mother
sees us hot thotfgb her image
sweetly fills our hearts with fond
memories of the past and joyful
hopes of future greetings with her
through faith in Christ's redeem-
ing love. C.
