It is sad that one we cherish
Should be taken from our home,
But the joys that do not perish
Live in memory alone.
All the years we’ve spent together,
All the happy, golden hours,
Shall be cherished in remembrance,
Fragrant sweets from memory’s flowers.

CARD OF THANKS.
We extend our heartful thanks to friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted us during the illness and death of my wife and grandmother and also for the beautiful floral offerings.
J. J. Haug
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Wilson
