IN MEMORIAM
In remembrance of our darling
baby, Franklin Overton, who de
parted this life one year ago Nov.
2nd.
How we miss you little darling
Since your footsteps cease to falL
No one else can make the echo
Of your feet upon the hall.
Since your going all the laughter
And the joys seem to fade.
There can never be another
In this word or any place
Who can take the place of you,
dear,
And your sweet and smiling face.
When our days on earth Eire end
ed
And to another place we go—
There we hope to meet you, darling
Never more to separate.
Mother and loved ones.
