In Memoriam
RTLEY-hn loving memory of wife and
mother Mary Jane.Riley,who pass-.
ed away on December 10, 19.44.
We little thought when leaving horse
She would-, no amore return, •
That she in death so soon would sleep,
mourn.'
We did not know the she
And leave us here to
'pain sbore,:.
We did not see her die,
We only know that' she passed away
And never said good-bye..
Her weary hours and clays of pain,
Her troubled nights are past,
And in our aching hearts we know,
She found sweet rest at last.
—Sadly missed by her husband and
children.
In Memoriam
IC.ISTNER—In loving .memory of our
dear son and brother Robert George
who passed away Dec..10, 1926:
Treasured thoughts, of one so clear,
Often bring a silent tear,
Thoughts return to scenes long past
Time rolls on, but memory lasts.
0 happy hours we once enjoyed,
How sweet their memory still;
But death has left a loneliness,
The world can never 811. •
—Lovingly remembered by Mother.
Father, Sisters and Brothers.
