In loving remembrance of our dear
mother, Mrs. J. H. Snyder, who passed
away one year ago, Oct. 23, 1920.
Dearest mother, thou has left us,
And our loss we deeply feel ;
But 'tis God who hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
More and more each day we miss you,
Folks may think our wound has
healed,
But they little know our sorrow
That lies beneath our hearts conceal
