“In Loving Remembrance of John Robert Ransom”

Printed with gold leaf on stiff card – graphics The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away: Blessed be the name of the Lord. In Loving Remembrance of John Robert Ransom. Died 15th October, 1894. Aged 70 Years. A Precious one from us is 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 lingers here The soul is safe in heaven.
