IN MEMORIAM

Five years ago today, March'4, 1923, the Icy hand of death came into our home and took from us our dear daughter and sis- ter, Virginla May Cooper,- to a home not made by banda but eternal in the ekies, where there is no alekness, pain or death. The month of March again is here, Saddest month of all the year.

When a daughter and alster breathed her last farewell.

The blow la more than tongue can lell. We think of her as one who sleeps. All free from grief and pain. And know the happy day will come, When we shall meet again. Darling sister, how we miss you. How our hearts are aching still. Your place is vacant in our home, Which no one else can every fill. Ohi Slater it was hard to give you up. It was hard to say goodby. But that vacancy up In heaven God would have no one else fill.

The midnight stars are gleaming above her silent grave,

Now sleep with out-dreaming the 'one we loved. but could not save. 'Twas nad for ua to lose ber. Because we loved Her so. But God knows best-Hle always does. And placed her name on the roll. Oh, we miss you darling sieter.

Though we must let God have bis way. But ohl how hard to wait to greet you In that Blessed Judgment day.

We miss thee from our home. Dear Daughter.

We miss thee from thy piace : A shadow o'er our life is cast, We mise the sunshine of thy face. . The golden gates were opened wide. A gentle voice sald come; Angels on the other aldo Welcomed our dear daughter home. [ cannot say, I will not any That she Is dead-she Is just away. With a cheery umlle and a wave of the hand,

She Is beckoning ua to an unknown land.

Peaceful be your aleep, Virginlo. It is sweet to breathe your name, In Ilfe we loved you dearly. In death we do the same. You are gone but not forgotten, Never from our memories fade, We will always linger around The grava where you are lald. So by hy, dear sister, some aweet day we will meet.

Sadly mlased by Father and Mother t Mr. and Mra. G. W. Cooper ; Slater Francie R. Cooper, Brother Paul C. Cooper, J. Ralph Cooper, R. Ray Cooper.
