Diggle, Emma E. | d. 17 Jan 1879 | 29 yrs. | R 76 S 284 | |
Diggle. January 17th, 1879, Emma E. Diggle, youngest daughter of the late James and Elizabeth Diggle, in the 30th year of her age. She is gone, she is gone to that happy land Where the weary are at rest; She has gone to join our darling Harry, In the world of the heavenly blest. Now hand in hand again they'll roam, But 'twill be o'er heaven's bright plain; Nor will they ever have a fear That they shall part again. We bid them then, with many tears, A brief but sad farewell, Till we meet in climes all free from care Our joy and love to tell. Then, when our barks are safely moored, If entrance to us be given, A long eternity we'll spend With our loved ones in heaven. Funeral at Gorsuch Chapel, corner Four and a half and L streets southwest, on Sunday, at 2 o'clock, to which the friends are respectfully invited. | ||||
Diggle, William | b. 1850 - d. 23 Jun 1878 | 27 yrs. | R 42 S 39 | |
Diggle. Sunday morning, June 23d, 1878, William Diggle, youngest son of Elisabeth and the late James Diggle, in the 28th year of his age. Thou hast left us! Ah, how soon, Thy life had hardly reached its noon Thy joys of earth had just began When lo! We see thy setting sun. Thou hast left us, but above Loved ones will twine thy wreath of love; Removed from earth, from pain set free, Our loss has all been gain to thee. |
