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.
