There is no Death! What seems so is transition;
This life of Mortal breath is but a suburb of the life elysian whose portal we call Death.

In Loving Remembrance of Jesse M. Branch
Died: October 7, 1889, aged 24 years.

‘Tis hard to break the tender cord, when love has bound the heart,
‘Tis hard, so hard to speak the words, we must forever part.

Dearest loved one, we must lay thee, in the peaceful grave’s embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished, ‘till we see thy heavenly face.
