IN MEMORIAM.

In loving remembrance of our dear
sister, Emma J. Hopkins, who depar
ted this life two years ago, April Is,
1917.
Two years we have grieved since we
saw her dear face,
Or heard her sweet voice in our
home circle place,
And we wait in our tears. in devotion
and love,
Until we meet her, with Jesus, in
Heaven above.
She has gone like bud in its fra
GRANGE and bloom;
Death bore her away to the sad, ST.
lent tomb,
And left us in grief, in sorrow, and
in tears,
That cannot be effaced by the pas
sage of years.
We stand by her grave where in
peaceful repose
Her precious dust rests like a sweet
stricken rose;
We know that her soul is in Heaven
above,
Pure and spotless. with Jesus, and
the Angels of love.
By her brother, Jackson Mears, and
sisters, Mrs. Mary E. Hopkins and
Mrs. Jennie Adams.

My dear Wife:
Your letter received today, and you
can't imagine how glad was to hear
from you, as I am always anxious to

think it was real good of you and the
baby; of course, she looks like her
dad. You asked me if 1 got the box
you sent me; yes, I received it be-
fore January. 1t was good, and look
ed like dear old U. S. A. inside.
enjoyed it immensely,bu but would have
enjoyed it more if you could have
been with me. I have some of the
chewing gum yet, and had lots of the
Christmas candy out of the other
boys boxes; they would always give
me a part when they opened their
boxes, and of course, when l got
mine, 1 shared with them.
Well, do you remember, one year
ago today, was home on a furlough
of five days, and I am in hopes that
the next furlough will be for life.

to be home with you. You were

assure you they all had to do their
part. There was no spare time for
play, but, of course, the boys didn't
come over there to play, they came
over to settle the fuss, and 1 don't
think the Germans will want any
more war for some little while.
You asked how I was making out
Well, since the war is over, I have
been making out fine, have been
sleeping in a house the most of the
time; of course, 1 had it right bad
while the war was going on had to
sleep anywhere, sometimes had no
sleep at all for week at time, and
while 1 was at the front, at one time
I didn't get any sleep for seventeen
days, but those days are over now.
We also have plenty to eat now; our
breakfast consisted of rice. syrup,
bread and coffee; dinner. beefsteak,
potatoes, bread and coffee, supper,
butter, syrup, bread and coffee, so
you see 1 am making out all right in
that line, so don't worry over me,
look out for yourself and the baby,
until 1 return, and that won't be
long, l hope.
We are now in a town about the
size of Church Creek; some town
and am sending you picture of the
building in which I am staying. The
foundation is brick, and it is plas-
tered inside like a dwelling house,
but tonight we are so far apart, and
your bed is of feathers, while mine
is of straw, but it won't be long be-
fore I will be home to spend the
rest of my life with you and baby.
I often look at the picture and wish
for the day when we will live happI-
ly together again, for I am tired of
this life and want to be home again.
Write to me as often as you can,
and give my lovev to all the family.
From your devoted husband,
GORMAN.
