In loving memory of my dear husband Medford Walls who passed away a year ago February 5 1942. The face I loved is now laid low his loving voice is still. The hand so often clasped in mine lies now in Deaths cold chill. I often sit and think of him when I am all alone. For memory is the only thing that grief can call its own. His Loving Wife.
