DORA

Sep 12 1876 Sept 5, 1896

In Fond Rememberance

In course of time we have our own being--
We were not, we are and we have been--
So runs our nortalities.

By conception we begin our existence,
Are nurtured into living souls
With breath of life eternal.

While in the mortal coil
We meet, make friends,
And then our exuent.

In life, we are epistles written,
"Read and known of all men,"
No matter how we live.

Then we should write them spotless,
Free from mark or blemish,
Our reasonable duty.

As for example, we will point
To DORA, our beloved sister
Whom we all loved:

Just blooming into womanhood--
Was almost twenty years old:
So pure, so bright, so lovely!

Our hearts follow after her,
Our tears will not restrain,
For love of such a flower.

A vacant chair is in our midst:
DORA is absent now;--
Cruel death has claimed her.

"To know her was to love her"
Alike by all she met;
She had such a sweet character.

But she is gone now--
Is buried in the churchyard,
Silently in the grave.

We mourn her absence truly,
None can fill her place
In our dejected hearts.

Our Lodge has lost an advocate,
Determined and strong in the faith
Of the Templar's final success.

Sister and brother Templars,
No more we grasp her hand
When we meet in the lodge.

No more we greet her happy face
Bedecked with jeweled eyes--
Index of a true soul;

No more we hear her pleasant voice
Pleading teetotalers cause
And justifying the pledge.

She has gone to God, we know,
In that "sinless summer land"
To dwell with the angels.

So let us wipe our tears away
And cheer each other's hearts--
She is not dead, but sleepeth;

Asleep in Jesus the Savior
To answer at judgement day,
As we all must do.

And to be "asleep in Jesus"
Is only a recompense
From our earthly labors;

The boon to sing redemption songs
Around the great high throne
Forever in angelic glory.

Then let us pray the Savior
To give us hearts as true
As hers whom we mourn;

Free from sin's death crimson,
Free to give Him praise
All our whole life long;

To help us to accept this;
"Thy will be done on earth,"
And give us life eternal. Dora was born at Mt. Pleasant, Titus County, Texas, on 30 September 1876.¹ Dora died on 5 September 1896 at Mt. Pleasant, Titus County, Texas, at age 19.¹ Her body was interred on 6 September 1896 at Titus County, Texas, at Union Hill Cemetery.¹
