Inscription: Daughter of JA & E Ward -- Aged 12y, 11m, 13d
Urbana Citizen & Gazette
July 29, 1848
Died on Thursday, the 20th inst, Rachael Whitehill, daughter of John and Eleanor Ward, in the 13th year of her age. Thus the Lord has seen proper, in his wise and righteous providence, to take away from these parents a lovely and interesting daughter; but they sorrow not as those that have no hope. "Death shall be swallowed up in victory"
"Sister, thou wast mild and lovely
Gentle as the Summer's breeze;
Pleasant as the air of evening
When it floats amoung the trees.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber
Peaceful in the grave so low,
Thou no more wilt join our number,
Thou no more our songs shall know.
Dearest Sister, thou hast left us
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But tis God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again, we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled,
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tear is shed."
