Minna Rose Koerbin (1885–1890)

In the memory of Minna Rose Frances Koerbin, the bright and loving daughter of Otto and Josephine Koerbin, who departed this life November 18, 1890, aged 5 years 10 months.

A lovely bud so young, so fair,
Called hence by an early doom,
Just gone to show how sweet a flower
In Paradise can bloom.
