In Memoriam.
In memory of our loving mother,
Mrs. Emily Dehaven, whe departed
this life October 20, 1918, just ten
years ago.
Ten years have passed,
And TO us but yesterday,
When we think of mother, dear.
We miss her council and advice,
Her presence and her prayers,
But as we ponder over all,
We know that God is just.
Yet our hearts pain US at times
when human affections press hard
on, we can but submit our all to
Jesus and say, Thy will be done"
Done by children and grandchll-
dren. Her daughter, Miss Maggie
Debaypr, sos Seventh Ave-, n. Wu
Roanoke, Va.
