WELDON. — In loving remembrance of
our dear Father, STEPHEN WEL-
DON, who died at Rocklands, on the
11th May, 1887, aged 75 years.
Also, Our Dear Sister, ELIZABETH
JANE SMITH, who died at Wan-
garatta, on 21st June, 1887, aged 38
years.
Also, Our dear Brother, EDWIN, who
died at Penang, Malay Peninsula, on
26th August, 1887, aged 28 years.

Also, My dear Grand daughter, ADA,
who died at Rocklands, 27th April,

In the grave lie their caskets in their last
solemn sleep,
We know they are there, and we cannot
but weep ;
But the gems they are setting are shining
so fair,
Like a light set in Heaven to beckon us
there.
Where the caskets and gems to each be
restored,
They will sparkle with joy in the light of
the Lord ;
Where parents and children who were
parted befow,
Will meet where no death where no part-
ing shall know.
— Inserted by their loving Mother,
Brothers and Sisters.
