On July 10th, 1906, VIM Watkinson,
my beloved husband, heard the sum-
mons of the great God of the universe
and in obedience to His command
laid down the implements of this
world to take up his more glorious
labor in the eternal courts of the
Heavenly city.
He was recognized in the commu-
nifty as a good citizen and successful
farmer.
During his latter days he gave his
heart to God and until his death
walked in the ways of Gods people.
AS father he was ever kind and
considerate of his children, and
though he loved them, he did not
spoil them. His companion in this
life bows to the will of her Redeemer,
yet even now feels the heavy hand OF
Gods affection in taking away an
ever kind and faithful husband.

In Mem0rlam.

In sad but loving remembrance o.
our little son, Nual d. Hickman, who
departed this life one month ago to-
day, October 3, 1907, aged year,
months and days. Gone but not
forgotten.
The weary world was all too bleak,
For one so kind and fair,
His gentle spirit, pure and meek,
Was not to linger here.
We miss you, Nual. oh, we miss you
The one we loved so well,
How much we all do miss you,
No one but God can tell.
Now that you are dead, dear Nual,
And midst sweet flowers laid,
Out in the quiet cemetery,
Out in the quiet shade,
Our feet will often times wander,
Towards that sacred grave,
Where sleeps the one we loved so well,
The one we could not save.
By mama and papa,
Mrs. and Mr.. L. d. Hickman.
