It have very similar poem. -- Gone to a mansion of rest. From a region of sorrow and pain. To the glorious land by the Deity blest. Never to sorrow [suffer] again. [really looks like sorrow but could be suffer]. Also found a similar poem on the web for a John Thornburgh also of Ohio - Our father has gone to a mansion from a region of sorrow and pain. To the glorious land by the Deity blest where he never can suffer again. Hope this may help. -Kevin
