Sedgewick-A tribute of love to the
memory of my dear devoted husband
William F. Sedewick who departed this
life one year ago November p, 1918.
NV home is sad, o. God, how dreary,
Lonesome, l. lonesome, every spot,
Listening for his voice till weary
Weary for | hear it not.
Days of love forever ended.
Passed and vanished from my side,
And that loving arm on which l rested
Is no longer by my side,
And the voice love to follow
Never more shall BE- my guide.
Dear H 1sband it was hard to give you
up.
And see you placed beneath the sod,
But must drink the bitter cup,
And submit to the will Of God.
By his lonely. lonely Wife
