My Dear aged Friends, and
you, my Dear young Friends
of the Unbroken Bands:-
"May the smile of Him, who
resides in the Heaven of
Heavens be upon you and
against your Names in the
Volume of His Will, may
Happiness be written."

Cousin H.J. Moore in Meeting time of
Golden Wedding at Harewood
12/24 1823

A kind and loving spirit has
passed away to its "Heavenly Home"; -
like a "shock of Corn, fully ripe": - they
who have known and loved her for
many years, will long feel the blank, her
departure as made:- if she could,
I think she would say to us "Weep not
for me, but for yourselves;" I am at rest.

And now, Oh! Holy Father! be with
this afflicted Family: - support and
comfort them in this hour of Trial; and
enable them to say, truthfully and resign-
edly, "Not my Will, Oh! Father! but thine
be done." Cousin H.J. Moore at
Mother Stablers funeral

Thursday November 22nd 1900
