La MemOrlam.

In memory Of our dear father and hus-
band. Thomas C. McGaha. who departed
this life two years ago. December IS, 1924.
Friend after friend departs.
Who has not lost a friend4
There Is no union here OF hearts
That finds not here an end;
We're this frail world our final rest,
Living or dying none we're blest.
There is world above,
Where parting Is unknown;
A long eternity of love
Formed for the good alone;
And faith beholds the dying here
Translated to that glorious sphere.
Thus star by star declines, .
Till all are passed away;
As morning high and higher shines
To pure and perfect day.
By his family.
In memory of our dear brother and son.
John T. McGaha. who departed this life
December 7. 1919.
A few more struggles here,
A few more partings DER,
A few more tolls. few more tears.
And we shall weep no more.
A few more Sabbaths here
Shall cheer US on our way.
And we shall reach the endless rest,
tn eternal Sabbath day.
A few more days the cross 20 bear.
And then with Christ crown we'll wear,
A few more marchings weary.
Then we'll gather home.
By his sisters, brothers and mother
