Two precious ones from US have gone,
Tayo voices we loved are stilled;
Two places are vacant in our home,
Which never can De filled.
The first to die was mother, dear,
In bed she moaning lay;
Till God relieved her of her pain
And then she passed away.
The next to go was Charlie dear.
God thought he knew most best,
To call him to his mother dear,
In heaven for to rest.
Home is not home for mother is not here,
The angles have taken her out of our care;
Dark is her room and empty her chair
We hope we soon will meet her again over
there.
Her busy hands are folded,
Her work on earth is done;
Her tasks all are ended,
Her heavenly crown is won.
Little Charlie was our darling,
Pride of all our hearts at home;
But the angels whispered SOFTLY
Little Charlie, do come home.
You may strew my grave with flowers,
You may sing to me a song;
Sing to me song of heaven.
As the summer days grow long.
Mother and Charlie how can we give you up,
To us it seems unjust;
To lay you in the snowy graves
To moulder in the dust.

birthday by dinner party.
One of the features of the dinner was a
beautiful birthday cake, surrounded by eighty

although not the oldest resident in years, has
been identified with New Windsor longer than
any person now living there. He came to this
country in 1916, and with the exception OF
one year which he spent with his brother; DIR.
Emmitsburg, New Windsor has been his home.
The first eighteen years of his stay there he
taught music at Calvert College.
After the war he bought the hotel, and has
