BY T. A. Hall, Milford
When you're breathing yoHr las
breath
And you bid your friends goodbye,
And yours eyes go shut in death
On the day you come to die.
Will you say. Lord it is well,
l know You'll now take care of me
Or will you wonder where in hell
You're going to spend eternity.

IN MEMoRIAM

In loving memory of my dear friend,
Captain Lloyd Davis. who lost his life
in that terrible tragedy at Bowers
Beach. on June II. 1887:
The blow was sudden. the shock severe,
We little thought the end SO near.
And only those who've lost can tell.
The pain Of parting without fareV ell.
Still loved and sadly missed by your
dear friend. ELIZABETH SAVAGE.
