MEMORIAL

In loving memory Of our daughter,
Pauline, who fell asleep July IS, 1919
She is gone but not forgotten,
She is not dead but sleeping in
Jesus.
How we miss her bright face
And her sweet smiles
A voice is stilled,
A vacant place in our rome
Can never be filled
Friends may think the wound is
healed,
But little do they know the sorrow,
That lies within our hearts con-
cealed.
.Sacly missed ty her mother and all.
Mrs. Isabelle Anthony, Kirk, Ky.
