 August 2007 Died Dec 7 1844 Sylvia French widow of Francis French æ 76 I am come to view the silent shade Where thy loved form my mother is laid but cannot see thy lovely face Or once more take a last embrace Nor more hold thy parental charms Or once more clasp me in thy arms Me thinks I hear thy spirit say O children weep not o'er my clay. Orcutt, Rev. Samuel, History of the Old Town of Derby, Connecticut, 1642-1880, (Springfield, Massachusetts, Press of Springfield Printing Company, 1880) page 806 |
