ABEL. In sad hut loving remembrance OF
my my dear wife BESSIE, who departed IL :
life one year ago today, December %, 49,,
Oh, God. what weight Of sorrow
Must l, the lonely one bear;
A loreiy home a silent voice,
And only her vacant chair.
did not stand beside her bed.
Nor did / her life depart
But when I heard that she was dead
1t nearly broke my heart.
Dear is the grave where Bessie is laid
Sweet Is her memory that never will fade,
Fart OF my life lies buried deep
Under the sod where Bessie sleeps.
How | miss the welcome footsteps
Oft listen for her coming
Feeling sure that she is near
miss your kind and loving hand<.
Your fond and earnest care
NV home is dark without you
miss you ever there.
Sadly missed
HER LONELY HUSBAND, JOHN J. ABEL.
ABEL. In sal but loving remembrance o.
NE one year ago today, December %, 1875.
How long she struggled with disease
That bafied skill and care;
How long she fingered, rscked with pain.
But Eith all patience she did bear.
Before my eyes she faded.
Growing weakef, day by day:
Patiently bearing her suffering
Until God took her away.
To see her slowly leaving me
As helpless l stood by
And drained the cup OF bitter grief
That morning l her die
In the graveyard. softly sleeping.
Where the flowers gently wave
Lies the one ! loved so dearly
And tried so hard TO save.
Bessie. how hard ! tried to keep you.
Happy angels came and took you
From this world of aches and pain
