passed away two years ago, April 20.
1860:
A light Is from our household gone,
Your voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant I'm our home
Which never can be filed.
Russell, never think that your are
forgotten,
Though on earth you are no more;
In our hearts you are forever with
us,
AS you always were before.
'Tis said time heals all sorrows,
And helps you to forget.
But so far time has only proved,
How much we miss him yet.
