IN MEMORIAM

In memory of our little darling
Horace L. Jones, who departed this
life one year ago, September 4, 1885,
age years, months.
One long year has passed dear dar-
ling,
Since you were called away,
And our hearts are just as lonely
AS though it were today.
Before our eyes you faded;
Growing weaker every day.
Doing all we could to save you
But God took you away.
No one knows how much we miss you
No one knows our sorrow and pain.
Since our little darling left us
Life will never be the same.
A precious one from us is gone,
Your dear face we cannot see,
But let this little token show,
We still remember thee.
Sadly missed by
Daddy, mama, brother & relatives
