 August 2007 In memory of Jane Canfield wife of Josiah B. Canfield ho died Feb 23 1832 aged 19 years. Also Mary Jane their daughter who died April 2 1832 aged 8 months. Can we forget departed friends? Ah no! Within our hearts their memories buried lies The thought that where they are we too shall go Will cast a light o'er darkest scenes of woe, For to their own blest dwellings in the skies The souls whom Christ sets free exultingly shall rise. Orcutt, Rev. Samuel, History of the Old Town of Derby, Connecticut, 1642-1880, (Springfield, Massachusetts, Press of Springfield Printing Company, 1880) page 804 |
