IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE OF

James MOWERY,

Died Oct 22 1888.

A precious one from us has gone,

A voice we loved is stilled.

A place is vacant in our home,

Which never can be filled.

God in his wisdom has recalled,

The boon His love had given;

And though the body moulders here,

The souls is safe in Heaven.
