III MonOriahi.

In loving remembrance of Willie
P. Hickman, who died September
23rd, 1894.
Dearest Willie thou hast left US,
We thy loss most deeply feel,
But tits God that has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Gone in the best of his days,
Blighted in manhood's bloom,
Torn from the hearts that loved him,
To sleep in the cold and silent tomb.
Peaceful be thy silent slumberS,
Peaceful in thy grave 30 low.
Thou no more shall join our number,
Thou no more our song shall know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the days Of life are fled,
There in Heaven with joy to greet
thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
By his Mother, Father and Brothers.

luton to make the session biennial

nent headquarters.
