Scope and Content

Paper memorical card for the service for Lila Fern Heath. The card is small and has a trifold. The cover has a printed image of church windows while the inside folds contain a poem by John Whittier and details about the service. It was held on February 2, 1942 at the Dykstra Funeral Home at 2:00 PM. Lila Heath's final resting place was in the Graafschap Cemetary. It is very likely that the Moker family knew Lila Heath and attended her memorial service, keeping the card afterwards.

There is a minor amount of deterioration to the card. One of the edges has been dog eared and there are multiple stains on the card. It is unknown what caused the stains, but it is probably a result of frequent handling and storage in poor conditions. The paper has also begun to yellow.
