James R. Crabb
(Feb 13, 1871 - Jan 6, 1908)

Is Now At Rest.
Call not back the dear departed anchored safe where storms are o're, on the border land we left them to meet and part no more. When we leave this world of changes, when, we leave this world of care,
we shall find our missing loved ones, in our Father's mansions fair.
