A Bereavement Poem In Memory Of Mary Johnson Beyer
Titled, 'When I Must Leave You'

When I must leave you for a little while-
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you through the years.
But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name
Live on and do all things the same.
Feed not your loneliness on empty days,
But fill each waking hour in useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer
And I in turn will comfort you and
hold you near;
And never, never be afraid to die
For I am waiting for you in the sky!

Janet -

I know the marker says her year of birth was 1888, but her obit says 1887, as well as the birth record in her mother's Bible.

She was married to Charles Beyer on April 17, 1906 in the Town of Vilas, Langlade Co., Wisconsin.
