SACRED TO MEMORY OF
CATHERINE,
WIFE OF
CHARLES WEBBER
DIED JAN. 19, 1890
AGED 52 YEARS.
NATIVE OF
ST.JOHNS, NEWFOUNDLAND

A PRECIOUS ONE FROM US HAS GONE,
A VOICE WE LOVED IS STILLED,
A PLACE IS VACANT IN OUR HOME,
WHICH NEVER CAN BE FILLED.

GOD IN HIS WISDOM HAS RECALLED
THE BOON HIS LOVE HAD GIVEN;
AND THOUGH THE BODY MOULDERS HERE,
THE SOUL IS SAFE IN HEAVEN.
