In loving memory of our darling wife and mother. Matilda Davis, who : passed away one year today. August 12. 1926. .
-
An angel came to our house And took our mother away. He took her to His heavenly throne And there she will forever stay.
-
She has completed her journey And passed through the gates of pearl. And now she is by the side of Jesus. Far from this tollsome world.
. She is walking by her mother's sida Upon those streets of gold. l And. If good. I can walk by her side When I leave this world. I'm told.
Tuas sad for us to lose her Because we loved her so. But God knows best-He always does, And placed her name on the roll.
-
At last came the day of departure. And she left this earthly home And went to the kingdom of Jesus. To that beautiful heavenly throne.
Sadly missed by husband and chil- dren. -
