WHEELER. FANNIE. In loving remem
brance' of our dear wife and mother, FAN
ME WHEELER, who passed away one yea
ago today. November 10, 1916.
God save us a wonderful mother,
One of the worlds very best.
And when her work on earth was done,
He called her home to rest.
Her life was unselfish.
For others she lived.
Not for what she could get,
But for what she could give.
She had smile for every one,
A heart as good as gold
To those who knew and loved her,
Her memory will never grow old.
A precious one from US has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our hearts
Which never can be nlled.
Although your soul is now at rest
And free from care and pain,
The world would seem like Heaven
If we had you back again.
We only ask to live each day,
So when our work is done,
We will see our darling mother
In Gods home beyond the sun.
For all of us she did her best,
God, please give her eternal rest.
THE FAMILY.
