IN MEMORIAM.

ATKINSON.- In loving memory of my dear wife, VIOLET JOSEPHINE (Josie), who departed this life on September 12th, 1918, aged 28 years.

This day brings back to memory fresh
My dear one gone to rest ;
And those who miss her most of all
Are those who loved her best.

I seem to see her dear, kind face
Through a mist of tears ;
But a husband’s part is a broken heart
And a burden of lonely years.

Inserted by her loving husband,
William John Atkinson.

ATKINSON.- In loving memory of our dear daughter-in-law, VIOLET JOSEPHINE, who departed this life on September 12th, 1918.
Inserted by M. and W. Atkinson and N. and J. Dawson.
