                          HARRY LEE HANKINS

On the morning of November 16th 1899, the spirit of our darling son entered the 
realms of immortal bliss, and while we live to mourn our loss we are solemnly 
admonished by this dispensation that in the "midst of life we are in death."  It 
seems but a fleeting moment when we last saw you, with the rose of health 
blooming on your cheeks, now chased away by the chilly embrace of death.

"Tis hard to break the tender cord,
When love has bound the heart, 
"Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words,
Must we forever part?
Dearest darling, we now lay thee
In the peaceful grave's embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
               HIS LOVING PARENTS

Virginian Pilot November 19, 1899
