Mccormack, resides. The dessert
spoons were presented to Mrs. Bridge
by Mrs. e. M. Huntington, who deliv.
cred the following original poem:
We stood round the bridge together,
And our hearts were heavy and sore,
For the bridge was to leave its moor
ings
And would be in our midst no more.
And our faces were pale with sorrow
And our eyes would fill with tears,
For the bridge we so loved and cher
ished
Had been with us here for years.
And had always stood staunch and
ready
When sorrow and care were near
And all knew they could lean upon it
With never thought of fear.
That their strong brave support would
tremble,
No matter how heavy the strain;
And the thought Of. our lossf brings
sadness :!
So deep It's akin to pain
How often, oh how often
In the days that are to be
We will think of our bridge with long
And will hope, on lifes restless sea
The moorings will find strong anchor,
That the waves will be bright and
clear
And our love always strong and tender
VIII follow it far and near.
