Florence Earle Coates Quote

They live indeed—the dead by whose example we are upward led.


Taken from the inscription on Mrs. Coates' headstone which is excerpted from a memorial poem she wrote for Eliza Sproat Turner, who died on 20 June 1903. "In Memory: Eliza Sproat Turner" from Mine and Thine (1904).


They live indeed—the dead by whose example we are upward led.

They live indeed—the dead by whose example we are upward led.

They live indeed—the dead by whose example we are upward led.

They live indeed—the dead by whose example we are upward led.
