In memory of my dear brother George W Dill who departed this life July 25 1906. Jone but not forgotten. Through the pearly gates of Heaven Passed the one we loved so dear God thought best to take him fronts. Though he left our home so drear. Friends may think we'll soon forget him. And our wounded hearts be healed. But they little know the sorrow That's within our hearts concealed. Sister C D AL. In memory of my dear father Jas K Dill who departed this life October 13 1906 aged 84 years 7 months and 26 days. Gone! A father that we loved so wo. So tender kind and true. Gone to a world on high To plead for me and son. When death comes knocking at your door And bids your father come You'll realize then as ne'er before A broken happy home. Lonely our home and sad the hours Since thy dear form has gone. But, oh, a brighter home to ite in Ours In Heaven is now thine own Davoutir C D AML.
