In Memory of Joseph Martie One Year Remembrance
In loving memory of Joseph Martie who departed this life one year ago December 23 1936 A precious one from us has gone A voice we loved is stilled A chair is vacant in our home which never can be filled Shadows passed within our home where all seemed well to us And took from us our father dear Which was so hard to bear Days of sadness oft come over us Tears in silence often flow Love shall always keep you near us Though you left us one year ago Mrs Joseph Martie and Children
