In Memoriam.

In loving but sad remembrance of our
loving husband and father, JOHN HAIR
RIMAN, who entered into rest six years
ago-Aug. 2, 1908.
In that heavenly home above
Thou art happy and at rest,
God giyeth ami God taketh,
For he knoweth best.
1t is not the tears at the momeat shed,
When the cold earth has just been
thrown over him,
That told how beloved was the one that
was dead,
Or how deep in our hearts we deplore
him.
God called him home, it was His will,
But in our hearts we love him still.
His memory is as dear today
AS in the hour he passed away.
Gone from earth, yes, gone forever;
Tear dimmed eyes shall gaze in uain;
We shall hear fathers voice, oh never,
Never more on earth again.
By his devoted wife and daughter.
In sad but loving remembrance of our
dear MAGGIE, who departed this life
ons year ago, Aug. s, 1907, in her goth
year
The midnight stars are cleaning
Upon silent grave,
Where sleeps without dreaming
One we could not save.
Oh Maggie Our hearts are SO weary,
As we walk along Life's way:
So lonely since you left us
Just one year ago today.
Fare thee we'll, but not forever,
There will be glorious dawn,
We shall meet to part no more
On the resurreetio1 morn.
By her sister Minnie.
