Pioneer Mother Died
Sunday Afternoon

Call not back the dear departed
Anchored safe where storms are
o'er,
On the borderland we left her,
There to meet and part no more,
When we leave this world of trials,
When we leave this world of care,
We will find our loved one waiting,
In our Fathers mansion fair.
