In loving memory of our dear son and brother, who was called to heaven two years ago, May 6.
In the graveyard peacefully sleeping / Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one we loved so dearly, / In his lonely silent grave.
The flowers we have laid upon you, / May wither and decay.
But the love we bear for you, darling, / Will never fade away.
Mr. and Mrs. F. Eggiman and Children.
