In Memoriam


Hyatt Garrett. At rest December 80, 1906.
For every heart in anguish, soon or late,
Beneath its load must bow, and come they
will,
But love can reach beyond the Golden Gate,
And, though an angel, We can love thee
still.
No one had a stronger hold on the love
and affection of many friends and relatives
than the subject of this sketch. The tenor
of his very life was found in his sympathy
with every one he knew, and his every
.ho"eh. was the enlargement Of their con.
was this always In his mind, and hence he
leaves behind him personality which will
be kept in loving remembrance In the hearts
of those who are lett surviving. In his ear
ly years he loved to hear read religious
stores, and nothing gave him greater pleas
ure than some one to read stories OF the bible.
At the close oil the day his place at the lam
lily altar was always filled, and his voice
Joined in the worship of Him he loved.
His young christian life diffusec among
others that beautiful character, and they
will ever cherish loving recollection OF
him.
Sometimes feel a spirit near me lowering,
A kindred spirit whispering low to me
Sweet messages OF truth and sympathy
messages Oh Ialtn anu love.
Sometimes hear low sweet voice to me
murmuring
And feel soft touches of caressing hands,
Memories Of the past about me towering
Of other days and other lands.
And who's the spirit Need ask the ques.

know too well the presence near,
And feel rare sweet dream over me steal

A dream inspired by the presence dear
To his loved ones here on earth
MANY for short time only we say,
Remember how brave he was and take cour-
age;
Hold Thou me up whene're the way is
hidden
And clouds hang darkly in Gods sky above,
When wild misgivings come to me unoid-
den,
o, Father, hold me closely in Thy love.
Hold Thou me up when my weak hearts
breaking,
Make me feel that Thou art all preserving,
That Thou will help me for Jesus sake.
Hold Thou me up till in death am sleep

Till am far from danger, safe and free,

Death, the silent reaper, soon TO gather
Us all within its unseen arms, has again cast
a gloom over my home by claiming as Its
victim my daughter, Lucy b. Mullican.
She was called from this world without
moments warning December Both, 1905
She was aged 80 years,9 months and II
days.
NY home has been stricken with sorrow,
My child has been taken away,
And grief throws its gloom DER the morrow
And darkens the face OF its day.
All the dear loved ones now dwelling
10 the home which shall know her nc
more,
They will be constantly telling
or the one that's gone on before.
Many weary path she travelled
In the darkest storms of life's strife,
Bearing many heavy burden
Which for others she left in life.
But thou art calmly sleeping
In the cold and silent tomb,
And | am left here weeping
In this dark world of gloom.
Bot may l meet thee, Lucy,
Where kindred part no more
And journey with thee hand In hand
Along that spirit shore.
For that sweet day am longing
When death shall set me free,
| We will spring and meet each other
