Walnut framed cross-stich sampler. Dated February 24, 1858, signed Suzanna Raby featuring a poem mourning a baby. Frame is 3" wide.
Poem:
Blest babe tho sad that thou art gone
I would not wish you here
For rather would I weep alone
Than see thee shed a tear
The thought of thy great happiness
Is now a Part of mine
Nor would I wish my sorrow less
To see that sorrow thine. James J. Raby
