IN M EMORIAM,

In loving memory of our dear hus-
band and father, Mr.. William H. Mar
tin, who passed away two years ago
today, January II, 1917.
Oh, dearest, fondest father, since you
have passed away,
1t seems that it is not a year ago, but
only yesterday;
Whenever we speak your loving name,
our eyes with tears are wet;
Oh father, how we loved you and love
cannot forget.
The Lord took you from us, it was His
holy will,
And left in our hearts a vacancy
which no n car fill;
But in our saddest moments n happy
thought holds sway
We will meet again, dear father, and
be happy some sweet day.
Wife and daughter,
LETTIE and LUCILLE MARTIN.
