In loving memory or John J. Burns who departed this life. March 1, 1928. It Is one year since you left us. dear, And your smile we see no more. More and more each day we miss you. Friends may think the wound is
 healed,
 But they little know the sorrow that
 is in our hearts concealed. Soft and bright the stars are shining. On the lonely grave, Where lies the one we loved so dearly. Whom We tried and could not save.
 In loving memory of our Dear Lit tie Son and Brother.
 (Signed) MT. and Mrs. John T. Burns and son, Thomas.
