Thus has passed away . just in the opening bloom of youth one of the brightest flowers that ever bloomed in a parental bower. Her brilliant promise and many(?) gentle amiabilities won the respect . love and admiration of all hearts.
What is home my angel Jennie
To a stricken heart like mine
What is earth with all its treasures
When compared with worth of thine
Jennie yes my gentle Jennie
Dwells among the angels now
One more harp is heard in heaven
One more heart is wrecked below
