Memoriam - In sad but loving remembrance of my husband and our father, William 
Jones who departed this life December 13, 1915 - gone but not forgotten.
Weep not that his toils are over,
Weep not that his race is run,
God grant that we may rest as calmly 
When our work like his is done
Till then we yield with gladness
Our Father to him to keep,
And rejoice in the sweet assurance
He giveth his beloved one sleep.
