IN MEMORIAM.
CRAMP.-In loving memory of my dear husband
WILLIAM DONALD CRAMP, who died September
10th, 1900, at Lismore.
Just one year has passed away,
Yet we remember well ;
We stood around his dying bed,
To bid a last farewell.
With tearful eyes we watched him,
He slowly passed away ;
Although we dearly loved him,
We could not bid him stay.
Inserted by his loving wife, B. M. Cramp,
Bangalow, Richmond River.
CRAMP.-In sad, but loving memory of our dear
father, WILLIAM DONALD CRAMP, who died
September 10th, 1900, at Lismore.
Father is gone but not forgotten,
Nor is the good advice he gave ;
Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger,
Around our darling father's grave.
Long days and nights he bore in pain,
To wait for cure was all in vain ;
But God alone who thought it best,
Did ease his pain and gave him rest.
Inserted by his loving sons and daughters,
Bangalow, Richmond River.
