DEDICATED TO GREAT
DAUGHTER

Te following lines were written
by w. E. Davis in memory of his
great-gnanddaughte Hazel Ilene
Schlater:
Dear father and mother, how
thankful you ought to be,
That have gone to a home that
you could not have given me,
Although but a blossom one day,
And withered before noon next day,
j hope you wild be good and pre-
pare your way.
And meet ME in heaven,
Where we shall always stay.
Although it was hard for you to
part with me, you see,
But hope that God will pardon
us and permit us,
Once more to meet ne'er to depart
from Eternity"
