Affliction for long years

Affliction  for long years I bore
Physicians were in vain
Till God was pleased to give me ease
And free me from pain

A light if from our household gone
A voice we loved is still
A vacant chair is in our home
Which none an ever fill

Hannah wife of John Joseph Whyte
1924

He suffered much

He suffered much, but murmured not
We watched him day by day
But often in our hearts we prayed
That he might longer stay

A light is from our household gone
A voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled

In loving memory of
Bert Walter Hubbard
Who passed away in 1948

Two brothers

Sweet little flowers your bloom has fled

And you are numbered with the dead

Short was your stay with us below

And lots we were to let you go

My darling boys this o'er

Your cheeks have lost their bloom

Your lips are pale, your eyes are dim

Death claims you for the tomb

Shall  we grieve because they're happy

Shall we wish them back to weep

No ! We'll joy because our Saviour

Received our lambs today

Dont overlook the rear of the headstone

We often forget to look at the back of a head stone, and sometimes  there are additional names more so on the older ones. Do get into the habit of checking.
