- Elizabeth Guyton was born June 1st 1855 / ( Verse: very faded): Jesus permit thy gracious name to stand / As the firs efforts of an infants hand / And while her fingers o?er this canvass move / Engage her tender heart to seek thy love. / With thy dear children let her share a part / And write thy name thyself upon her heart. //
