It's a Mother's hand that guides us through childhood's hapy days,
It's a Mother's faith that tides us when we're past the years of play,
And the truest love is Mother's for it has no selfish aim,
And through all the years in passing, her heart beaths just the same.
We wish to thank our friends and relatives for their kindness and
the singers and all who showed their sympathy in the death of our
mother. THE CHILDREN
Note: The child who died in fancy was Eddie who is buried in Poplar Ridge Cemetery.
