In memory of Earle E departed this life April 14 1934 aged 11 years deep in our hearts lies a picture of a loved one laid to rest In memory frame we shall keep it Because he was one of the best Loving and kind in all his ways and to the end of his days Sincere and true in his heart and mind Beautiful memories he leaves behind What would we give his hand to clasp His sweet face to see To hear his voice to see his smile As In the days that used to be But some sweet day we'll meet again Beyond the toil and strife And clasp each other's hands once more In Heaven that happy life By his mother sisters and brother
