In Memoriam

JENKINS -- In Loving memory of my dear Sister, Lelia Jenkins, who departed this life nine years ago, December first, 1928.

While twilight dews were falling
Upon the brow of love,
We knew the Savior was calling
Her to the heavenly home above.

The years of her life were numbered
When the Messenger whispered low,
The Master has come and called for thee;
She answered: "I am ready to go."

On the river a pale boatman hastened,
She heard the soft dip of his oar,
Then from earth and sorrow he bore her
Across to that beautiful shore.

Loving Sister,
Mrs. Charley Bair.
