PARTY A PR II. ?«TH

IN MEMORY In rcmemrance of Charles \\. Foxx who lost his life 4 years ago in Germany on April 16, 1940. There’s an open gate at the end of the road. Through which all must go alone, And there is a light we cannot

see.

Our Father claimed his own. Beyond the gate our loved one, Finds happiness and rest. And there is a comfort in th.: thought That a loving God knows best. Just a thought of sweet remembrance, Of the loved one gone to rest. The ones who miss him most Are the ones who loved him best. Husband and father you are not forgotten Though on earth you are no more, Still in memory you are with us As you always were before. Mrs. Isabel! Foxx and children. pd IN MEMORY In loving memory of our dear mother, Emma Mae Figg, who passed away 11 years ago today April 18th, 1938. Sleep on Dear Mother, it has been eleven long years, Since you left our hearts filled with sadness and tears, Yours was a heart so jolly and gay, Senttering sunshine all the way, Time speeds on. eleven long years have passed, Since death its gloom, its shadow cast, And took from us a shining light We miss that light and ever will. Your vaeant place there is no

fill.

Down here we mourn, but not in vain, For up in heaven we will meet again. Sadly missed by son and wife. Forest and Nellie Figg. pd.
