MEM0RIAM

In loving remembrance of our dar-
ling baby, James Anvil Dickey, who
departed this life on Feb. 5, 1914,
age 3 years, 8 months and seven
days.
A voice we love is still.
a precious one from us is gone.
A place is vacant in our home which
we can never ill.
In the graveyard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one we love 60 dearly
In his silent lonely grave.
You are gone but not forgotten.
Your memory shall never fade.
Our lonely hearts afways linger,
Where our darling baby is laid.
Father and Mother.
