IN MEMORIAM.
Kenyon.—ln loving memory of Bertram David Kenyon, aged 20 years, second son of David and Mary Kenyon, who was accidentally drowned at Armentieres on October 17th, 1917. He has borne his cross, he has gained his crown. Though he lies in a far-oS grave; And we think of his life, a duty done, Manly, unselfish and brave.
Curry. —ln ever loving and honored memory of Private A. B, Curry, 19th Reinforcements, who died of wounds received in Prance 17th October, 1917. We who loved you sadly miss you When the evening shadows fall, As we sit alone and ponder And your cheery ways recall. He gave his life, it was his all, —lnserted by his loving sister, niece and nephew, Gisborne.
Curry. —ln fond and loving memory of Private Albert Bert Curry, who died of wounds in Prance on October 17th, 1917, aged 21 years. “ I might be home for Christmas,” His last fond letter read. Then the cable came to tell us That our dear boy was dead.
Somewhere in France they have laid him, Our soldier, so brave and true; He fought for our freedom and liberty, And died ’neath the Red, White and Blue.
No mother’s care did him attend, Nor o’er him did a father bend; No sister by to shed a tear, No brother by his words to hear. Wounded and dying in a foreign land, No father by to take his hand; No mother near to close his eyes, Far from his native laud he lies. —lnserted by his loving father, mother, brothers and sisters.
