None knew him but to love him.
None named him but to praise
Though suffering he breathed not murmur,
For the Comforter stood by his side
And said, Fear not, am with thee,
With me thou shalt ever abide"
Children, when mother is crying,
Dry the teardrops from her eyes,
Tell her there is peace in Heaven.
Where love and friendship never dies.
Wife. do not weep for me,
Though you tended me with ca re,
Happy You and will be
When we meet one another there.
Over the river the pale boatman fastened
He heard the soft dip of his oar.
And from earth and his sufferings
He bore him across to that beautiful shore.
When am dead who will miss me?
When the bell has ceased to toll
Will my memory still be cherished
AS the years will onward roll
Is there one that still will linger
Near the spot where am layed,
And will come and scatter flowers
Over the grave that death has made.
Farewell dear husband.
BY HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN.

IN MEMORIAM
of Annie E. daughter of Augustus and Kate More
lock. near Westminster, Nd, who died from
typhoid fever June 90, 1901.
Call not back the dear departed
Anchored safe where storms are DER
On the border land we left her.
Soon TO meet and part no more
IT'S hard to break the tender cord,
When love has bound the heart;
IT'S hard so hard to speak the word.
We must forever part.
Dearest loved one we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace;
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
HER PARENTS.
Oh Annie DEAR how can it be,
1t seems to us unjust
To lay you in the cold damp ground
To moulder into dust.
No more ON earth in fond
Friendship will we meet
HER FRIEND s. E. S.
