Excerpt from Memorial of Jessie Willis: Prepared for Her Little Daughters, Annie, Blanche and Jessie It has not been the custom in this place, my friends, in performing the present duty, to add so much as a single word to the simple and sufficient order, which the Church has provided, for the burial of the dead. Hither childhood and youth, manhood, womanhood, and age, - the father, the mother, the husband, the wife, the child, the brother, the sister, the "friend which is as thine own soul" [Deut. xiii. 6] - when their all of this world was over and their all of another begun, have been brought, that we might pay to their lifeless remains that last tribute of respect which piety and affection prompt, and never yet, until to-day, in any case, has utterance been given to aught else beside the appointed sentences, and Psalms, and Lesson, and Anthems, and Declaration, and Prayers.
