A precious one from us has gone,

A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home

Which never can be filled.

NOTE:His first marriage date is copied as it was published in the newspaper clipping. However, it may be wrong as he would only have been 12 years old. 1887 may be a more correct date.
