IN MEMORY.

WELLS.—In sad but loving memory of our dear father, Charles B. Wells, who entered eternal rest September 23, 1918. Peaceful be thy rest, dear father, It is sweet to breathe thy name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. The moon and stars are shining On a lone and silent grave; Beneath lies the one we loved, But yet we could not save. We saw him suffer, heard him sigh, With aching heart and weeping eye; We saw him sinking, hour by hour, Yet could not stay death’s awful power; — r But now he calmly sleeps at last, All pain, all.achesj all suffering past. For us he aQwaysdidhis best; May God grant him eternal rest. From his lonely wife and children.
