IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of my dear hus-
band, E. Thompson Pusey, who died
December 9Th, 1887.
1t was on a Sunday morning,
| shall never forget the day
God called and took my dear husband
To his Heavenly home to stay
The blow was heavy, the shock severe
l little thought that death was so near
I have lost my SOULS companion
A life linked with my own
And every day 1 miss him more
AS I go through life alone
He's passed his suffering, passed his
pain
A change in a moment fell
He never got chance to say farewell
Alone in my sorrow he stands by my
side
And whispers, Dear Birdie, death can
not divide
Loved and longed for till we meet
again.
His devoted wife, Birdie
