For many a weary day
And many an eve still more,
In pain and sore distress she lay
And uttered many a groan.
How sad a sight it was
To see my Mother dead
Enshrouded in the pure white robe
Then in the cold grave laid.
Shall I withhold a tear
Of tribute or respect
When e're I think of one so dear
And fondly recollect?
Ah, no! My tears shall ever flow
When I look on her grave
For Jesus wept on Lazarus dead
When he had power to save.
-Obituary for Catherine Anderson
She was the daughter of Teunis Van Etten and Dina Krom.
