Obituary to Huse McCanse: This slighted piece of earth's dark clay From this vain world has passed away; Forgive his sins, we humbly pray, For life's shor span seems but a day. And may this innocent chid of God, With temptation's vice, through life has prod, Escape the sinners fearful rod, And clib the steps so few hath trod, And where he's gone though few may care, Remember, ll his fate must share, That now he's entered death's dark portal, Forget not, please, he once was mortal Burial took place on: 03/20/1881. http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/p/a/t/Corinne-N-Patterson/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0590.html
