LILY MAY
DAU. OF
B. G. WHITNEY
Died
May 17, 1869
Age of 1 yr. 1 mo. & 1 dy.
By cool Siloam's shady rill,
How sweet the lily grows.
How sweet the breath, beneath the hill,
Of Sharon's dewy rose.
By cool Siloam's shady rill,
The lily must decay.
The rose that blooms beneath the hill,
Must shortly fade away.

Gravesite Details

"By Cool Siloam's Shady Rill" is an old hymn, supposedly written by Reginald Heber (1783-1826).
