IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of my dear Mother. Mrs.
Martha Scott who departed this life Novem-
Der 10Th. 1926
Just a year ago to-day. Dear Mother.
Since we laid you in the peaceful graveyard
near.
And our hearts were torn with grief and
anguish,
AS we parted with the mother we loved so
dear.
We asked Dear Saviour to spare you but the
Heavenly Father called you and you had to go.
God only knows the sorrow and anguish when
you had left us.
BY her Daughter and Husband. Mrs. M. Scott
