And darkens the face of its day.

Time flies. for never will it bring
The dearer to whom cling;
How often, standing near thy tomb
We sigh for thee in deepest gloom.
Thy face, mine will ever see
Forgotten thou shall never be.
The years are long since you left u.s.
They have grown to three today;
But we love you just dearly
AS the hour you passed away.

In sad but loving remembrance of our dear
father, David H. Warehime who departed this
life September 5, 1916, and our dear mother Annie
R. Warehme.
Oh how sudden was the summons
When word came they were hurt.
For our dear father and mother left home full
of life,
And was brought back to US dead.
Home is sad, oh God how dreary,
Lonesome lonesome every spot;
Listening for the voice of father and mother,
Silent for we hear them not.
And we often set and wonder,
At what you would say,
If you only knew the changes,
That have happened since that day.
Once we had father and mother
w no were good and true,
That we were always happy.
Our hearts ever aching.
Although we smile each day,
For our thoughts are always of father and mother
HON God has taken away.
How sadly we counted the hours.
That measured five sorrowful months;
Since they laid beneath a mantle of flowers
Our father and mother we love so dear.
Their busy hands are folded
Their work on earth is DONE
Their troubles all ended,
Their heavenly crowns are worn.
BY THEIR DAUGHTER MRS. IRWIN E. WANTZ

The angels have taken our father
10 land where no sorrows will come
There he watches and waits the glitternE
strand,
Ts welcome his loved ones home.
We miss his kind and willing hand,
His fond and earnest care
Our home is sad without him.
We miss him everywhere.
Grieve not dear children. am at rest
And shall forever be-
| cannot come on earth to thee,
But you come to me.
BY HIS SON, CHARLES v. sTREvIG AND WIFE.
BY the beautiful gate he stands and waits
My dear grandfather from pain set free
] shall clasp his hand and feel his kiss
When the hinges turn for me-
