He leaves to mourn their loss his mother, father, two sisters, Bulah and Eileen, one great-grandfather, two grandfathers and two grandmothers, besides a host of other relatives and friends. Darling Burto, he has left us Left us, yes for ever more But we hope to meet our loved one On that bright and happy shore. The little crib is empty now The little clothes laid by A mother's hope a father's joy In death's cold arm doth lie. Go little pilgrim to thy home On yonder blissful shore We miss thee but soon will come Where thou hast bone before. 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 slumbers here The soul is safe in heaven. ----------- CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our sincere thanks to the kind neighbors and friends for their sympathy and kindness shown us during the death and burial of our darling baby. Also to Rev. Mr. Beardsley for his comforting words and for the singing. Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Brooks and family Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bippley and family Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
