On this day in 1857, Cathy VanDerHyden died in her 76th
year.
She was the wife of Col Garret P. VanWie.
Her tombstone reads:
Dearest mother, thou has left us
Here thy loss we deeply feel
Rueless God that hath berift us
He can all our sorrows heal.
Beautiful be thy silent slumber
Beautiful in the grave so low
Thou no more will join our number
Thou no more our songs shall hear.
Here thy loss we deeply feel
Rueless God that hath berift us
He can all our sorrows heal.
Beautiful be thy silent slumber
Beautiful in the grave so low
Thou no more will join our number
Thou no more our songs shall hear.
