Tn loving remembrance of our dear sister. MRS.

today. October IL, 1916
What is home without mother!
Once we had loving mother
But God beckoned her away
Farewell my darling children,
can no longer stay.
often sit and wonder
At what you would say.
If you only knew the changes
That have happened since that DAY
Oh how hard we tried to save her.
Prayers and tears were all in vain;
Happy angels came and took her,
She's with the Saviour free from pain.
When we gather at the homestead
Where our childhood days were spent,
There's cherry voice that absent,
Then we know twas only lent.
BY THOSE WHO HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN
In sad but loving remembrance of our dear nephew
and brother Walter Wilev. who died three years
ago, October 2.
Oh how sudden was the summons.
When word came he was dead;
Time was too short to say farewell
To those he loved SO well.
Gone in the best Of his days.
Blghted in manhood bloom;
Torn from the hearts that loved him.
To sleep in a silent tomb.

But his spirit sweetly whispers
Courage, in Heaven we will meet again.
BY HIS COUSINS, CHARLEY AND GEORGE, JR.
'Tis hard to break the tender cord,
When love has bound the heart;
'Tis hard so hard to speak the word.
Must we forever part.
We cannot tell who next may fall
Beneath thy Christening rod;
One must be first, but let US all
Prepare to meet our God

In sad but loving remembrance of dear
mother, Caroline Misal, who departed this life
two years ago. October q 1914.
Rest on dear mother thy labors Ger,
Thy willing hands will toll no more;
A faithful mother both true and kind.
A truer mother you could not find.
Dear mother you will never be forgotten
Never shall your memory fade;
Sweetest thought will ever linRer
Around the grave where you ne laid.

When our work likewise is done.
