Margaret Watts, who passed away on the 10th September, 1915, at 80 Peel street, Windsor.

Rest, dearest mother, thy toil is o'er,

Thy loving hands shall work no more, No more thy gentle eyes shall weep-Rest, darling mother, gently sleep.

Thou art not forgotten, dearest mother,

Nor wilt thou ever be,

As long as life and memory last

I will remember thee.

Days of sadness still come o'er me,

Hidden secret tears still flow; For memory keeps my dear one near me,

Though he died a year ago. One of the best, a noble father,

A father kind and true,

So dearly loved, so sadly missed

By every one he knew.

A better father never lived,

A friend more true and kind.

IN MEMORIAM.

WILLIAMS.—In loving memory of our dear father,

Oliver, who passed away on the 10th September, at 38 Seymour avenue, Malvern.

Dear dad, just a year ago you left us,

How we miss your dear sweet face, But you left us to remember

None on earth can fill your place. A better father never lived,

Nor one more true and kind, His equal in this world We very rarely find.
