IN MEMORIAM.
MA... IK 11. WRIGHT.
God,in His infinite wisdom, saw
1 fit to take from our home our he-'
loved little darling, Maggie . D.;
. Wright, aged two years, one;
month and five days. The Death
Angel bore it away on its snow
white wings on January 22d, 1910. :
It leaves a heart-broken father
and mother, two sisters and ono (
brother, to mourn the loss of oar
precious darling. Oh, that vacant:
place no one can till but little
Maggie!
“Dearest darling,thou hast left u«;!
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But tis God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
“Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled;
Then in heaven with joy to greet
thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.”)
