Adair County,

May 3, 1877
Sep 6, 1891

Elizabeth Conner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Conner, died at her home on Monday, Sept. 6, 1891, after an illness of several weeks with that dreaded disease, consumption, aged 14 years, 5 months and 4 days. Elizabeth was a bright and cheerful girl and was loved by all who knew her. But to think one of our schoolmates has gone to rest! Oh, teacher and scholars, how we will miss her to see her vacant seat. But our loss is her eternal gain. Paul says it is far better to be absent from the flesh and present with the Lord. Oh, I would gladly kiss her if I could again meet her. But scholars, we should all meet her. But scholars, we should all remember that she has only gone before that we too, soon may follow her to part no more.

A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our school.
Which never can be filled.

God in his wisdom has called
The loving one which he had given,
And though the body is resting here,
Her spirit is safe in heaven.
