In loving memory OF my dear
wife, Elnora Wright. who passed
away October 20. 1857.
Since you are gone and remain
To walk the road alone,
|Fn live In memory's garden.
With happy days we've known
In spring ri watch for roses red
When fades the lilac blue.
In autumn when brown leaves fail
I'm catch a glimpse Of you
Now you are gone and remain
With sorrow In my heart.
Each thing you touched along the
/ way
I lWlll be a hallowad spot
hear your voice ace your smile.
Though biindiy ! may grope
The memory OF your helping hand,
Has baoyed me on with hope
We saw 50 much Of happiness.
We had our cup of Joy
And memory is one gift of God
That death cannot destroy
Though you are gone and I re-
main,
One thing YOU stiIl can DO;
watch for me down that long lone
path,
For soon ri follow you.
pray 10 know your every step,
That / may walk the same
For some day down that lonely
road,
Ynuu hear me call your name.
