Lines on the death of Gracie, daughter of Marcus and Minerva LYON, of Tampico township, who died October 2nd, 1886; aged 11 years, 6 months, 11 days.

"Gracie though called away in thy youthful days, Remembered thou will be for they winning ways, And the patience manifested in those trying hours, Can we forget the same also thy love of flowers, In all the scenes of life, at home or at school, Ever want thou ready to observe the Golden Rule, Loved by those with whom you were called to part, Your youthful virtues will impress the heart, Of all who realize the words they oft have heard you sing, ANearer my God to Thee@ who are my Savior and my King. B.F.H."
