The last cannon of the Luray boom

Farewell noble, loving Russell,
Dearest little boy, farewell;
In our tear, we must try to smother,
Oh this lonely last farewell.
Our house is sad and lonely,
Our hearts are cold and chill,
Since we must lay our darling boy
In the church yard on the hill.
By Friend.
LIN Memory Of Mrs. Mary MOser.
Peace is around thee, thy sorrows are
past.
Heayen has granted thy freedom at last;
Long hast thou fingered in anguish and
pain
Long hast thou struggled this victory to
gain.
Then onward and upward 0 spirit most
fair,
Bright angels are waiting thy glory to
share;
Glad, is the greeting they'll all early
give
A crown for cross and with Jesus to live.
