IN MEMORIAM

IN LOVING MEMORY of Mrs. FE.
Culleton, who passed away on August
26th:

A break has come in our little band,
A member has passed to the better
land;

Her duty she did,
Now

not matter where,

she rests in a home free from

care,

Tho’ sad we may

meets again,

We all rejoice she is now free from

pain;

Bravely all her troubles were borne,

Her wishes would be that none of us
mourn.
