Obituaries for Siebert Smith

IN LOVING MEMORY

Of Siebert Smith who died at his home in Westville

Feb. 28^th, 1896

One long month has come and gone

Since his dear spirit fled

How sudden was his summons,

To know that he was dead.

Time was too short to say farewell

To those he loved so well.

No bitter tears had he to weep

No sins to be forgiven

Yet how oft we ask our aching hearts

Why we weep for him who is in heaven.

Farewell to Siebert, but not forever,

There will be a glorious dawn

We shall meet to part, no never.

On the resurrection morn

Tho’ the dear form lays sleeping

In the cold and silent tomb.
