In sad but loving remembrance Of my
dear wife, ELIZABETH RYCE, who de-
parted this life on Wednesday. April 2S,
1909, in the 9th year of her age. Gone
but not forgotten.
Twill not be long our Journey here,
Each broken sigh and fallen tear
VIII soon be gone and all will be
A cloudless sky, waveless sea.
Though sad we mask the closing eye
of those we loved in days gone by,
Yet sweet in death their latest song,
Wen meet again, twill not be long.
She will never be forgotten.
Never will her memory fade,
Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger
Around the grave where she is laid.
By her loving brother,
Thos. II. Ching.
In sad but LOVING remembrance of my
dear grandmother, MRS. NANCY COL
Inns, who departed this life six months
ago today, May IA, 1909.
Six months ago, dear Grandma, you
were with us,
How we miss you none can tell,
Every day and hour that passes
Brings us nearer to you to dwell.
Yet again hope to meet you
When the day Of life Is fled,
And in Heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
In the little ehurehyard she is lying
Beneath the old oaks boughs,
oh, sleeping, sweetly sleeping
Beneath bed of lovely flowers.
You are not forgotten, Grandma dear,
Nor ever will you be,
For as long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
By her granddaughter,
