IN MEMORIAM
In sad and loving remembrance
of my dear brother, who departed
this life one year ago, Dec. 8,
1935.
Thou art gone, my precious dar
ling,
Nevermore canst thou return;
Thou shalt sleep a peaceful slum
ber,
Till the resurrection morn.
There we’ll meet you, precious
% darling,
There we’ll clasp glad hands once
“ more;
When we’ve met to part no never,
On that happy golden shore.
Sister, Mrs. Hervie Lee Gray,
Littleton, N. C.
