In Mem0rfan.

Passed from labor and entered intC
rest April 18th, 1901, at his home neal
Pastoral, MIR. Thomas II. Williams
aged 80 years. He was a good hus
band and indulgent father and will
be missed not only by his immediate
family but by large circle OF rela'
tives and friends, but we feel our loss
is his eternal gain.
In silence he suffered,
In patience he bore,
Until God called him home,
To suffer no more.
How sad are the hours father,
Since we see you no more
Although we must remember,
Your weary life is DER.
We miss thee, oh dear father,
We miss thee from thy place,
We cannot hear thy footsteps,
Nor see thy smiling face.
But you are not forgotten father,
Nor ever will you be,
AS long as life and memory lasts,
We will remember thee.
Father. we are parted only for
while,
Well meet on eternity's shore,
To clasp thy hand and behold thy
smile,
And meet to part no more.
His wife and children.
