  • Notes 
    • there were two great sorrows that stood out like great mountain peaks above the rest; one of which was the death of her daughter, Grace, in her early youth, and in her young beauty and charm. Through a livelong year she slowly faded away, and passed into the land where " everlasting spring abides and never withering flowers," only remembered by what she had been.
