IN MEMORIAM MACHAN — In loving memory of a dear husband and father, Charles Gordon Machan, who passed away one year ago, March 10, 1942. What would I give to clasp his hand, His happy face to see, To hear his voice and see his smile, That meant so much to me. No one knows the silent heartache, Only those who have such can tell Of the grief that is borne in silence, For the one I loved so well. Sadly missed by wife and family. IN MEMORIAM AUSTIN — In loving memory of a loving mother, Agness Austin, who passed away one year ago March 13th, 1942. , She lives with me, in memory still, Not just today, but always will.
