In Memoriam.

In loving remembrance OF our
mother, Louisa Ann McEJveen, who
this life one year ago to-
day. August 2, 1916:
Oh, the memory of that night,
AS we stood with breaking heart,
Seeing the one we loved so dearly
Pierced by deaths most cruel dart.
Long days and nights she bore in pain
To wait for cure that never came;
But God, who knoweth all things best,
Did still her pain and give her rest.
Forget her? No! we never will;
We loved her then, we love her still.
Her memory is as fresh today
AS in the hour she passed away.
In the far and distant graveyard,
Where the trees their branches wave,
Lies our sainted mother
In the cold and silent grave.
l often sit and think of you, mother,
When am all alone,
For memory is the only friend
That grief can call its own.
You are not forgotten, mother.
Nor will you ever be,
For as long as life and memory lasts,
We will always think Of thee.
LOVING Son AND DAUGHTER.
