Jn loving remembrance of my
dear mother, Mrs. J. T. Puckett,
who passed from us Dec. 22, 1912.
' "Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep.
From which none ever wake to

A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
Asleep in Jesus far from thee,
Thy kindred and their graves may
be!
But thine is still a blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to
weep."
"Gone but not forgotten."
Her loving daughter,
Ella Puckett Brothers.
