IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE

In loving remembrance of my dear
husband and our dear father, Rev.
Horace II. Reid, who departed this
life November at 1910, 1917. We
wish to thank our many friends for
their kindness during the illness and
death of our dear husband and our
father, and also for the beautiful
floral designs.
How joyful is the thought
That fingers when loved ones cross
deaths sea;
That when our labOrs here are ended
With them we'll ever be.
No parting words shall e'er be spoken
In that bright land of flowers;
But songs OF JOY and peace and glad
ness
Shall ever more be ours.
