    Advertentie - Heden overleed zacht en kalm na een lang lijden mijn innig geliefde Echtgenoot en der kinderen zorgzame Vader Johannes Hensums in den ouderdom van 72 jaren en ruim 3 maanden. Psalm 89:19.
    Gedenk, o Heer! hoe zwak ik ben, hoe kort van duur;
    Het leven is een damp, de dood wenkt ieder uur.
    Zout menschdom dan vergeefs op aarde zijn geschapen?
    Wie leeft er die den slaap des doods niet eens zal slapen?
    Wie redt zijn ziel van 't graf? Ai! help ons als te voren,
    Gelijk Gij bij uw trouw aan David hebt gezworen!
    Zwaar valt ons deze slag, maar wij wenschen te berusten in den wil des Heeren.
