1912, after a brief illness, Claud the
fifth son of Mr.. j. and and Mrs. b.
Hardy, aged II years. 10 months and
day Once again has the insatiate
monster, Deeth, invaded happy
home and taken therefrom their
merry, brisht-eyed Claude.
The final hopes, the bright antici-
pations that his loved ones so ear
nestly nurtured are all sadly sur
rendered, the grim archer laid his
cold, pitiless grasp upon him and
despite all that medical skill ana
kind and loving hands could do,
slowly and relentlessly claimed him
for his own.
And yet they tell us not to weep,
not TO grieve; as well tell the wild
waves to cease beating upon the
rock bound coast. as well tell the
winds to stop their mournful re-
QUEEN through the forests, for oh,
twas hard to give him mp, doubly
SO to know that now for age, all
time. that never again would his
Joyous laugh be borne to us by the
whispering breeze.
Never again will his radiant eyes
be turned on us beaming with love
and glittering with youthful happi-
ness. never again will the final en-
dearing terms which he so earnest
ly applied TO those whom he loved
and honored fall upon their grateful
ears.
He is now transplanted to the re-
gion of bliss where with others OF
our loved ones gone before, he is
now secure from pain or sorrow
and shouting the praises with those
who are numbered among the re
deemed.
Goodbye Claude, farewell our one,
though thou art gone thou are not
forgotten. AS the days pass and
sweeper into years the bright pic
lures of the youth and the pure
scenes of thy boyhood will be fond =
ly treasured in memory's hall and
the passage of time down the vista
of years will neither dim their
brightness nor disturb their sane
tity from those who deeply love,
cherish. and adore thy memory.
Farewell, Claude, thou art gone,
And art free from care and pain,
Although thou can st return,
We hope to meet thee again.
