who departed this life one year ago
February 13, 1920.
The flowers we place upon his grave.
May wither and decay,
But, Oh, the love we bear for him.

Just one year ago he left us,
How We miss his loving face.
But he left us to remember none
On earth can taks his place.
He was man of cordial manner and

iities endeared him to those whom
ne came in contact with and won for
him host of friends.
We deeply mourn our loss.

Coincidence

Respectfully inscribed to the rela-
tives of Grace NJ. Elmendorf, who
passed from this life February 7th.
1921. AS members of the Church of
Christ we most deeply deplore the un-
timely death of our beloved sister in
Christ ,and one we esteemed so high
ly.., And to the bereaved husband and
children and parents We as a BODY,
extend our heartfelt sympathy in
your great sorrow. In the shadows
of the night, death crouched with
folded wing, and seeing one with
hopes so bright he made an earth
ward spring One arrow from his
dreaded bow, destroyed the hopes of
years, and filled loving home with
Woe and loving eyes with tears. We
shall miss her, each and every one,
and oft her praises tell, for work re-
maineth to be done that she could
do so well Among the aged and the
youth when days and years have fled
Are those who still shall feel the
truth that mother dear is dead.
There is an after life we know, this
that shall light the gloom, as YOU
with mournful footsteps go to visit
at her tomb. There angel voices
whisper sweet, above her lowly bed
TO hive that you at last may meet |
your loved and buried dead.
