DEATH.
BOCK.—At Fox-ton on August 13th, 1922, Walter Bock, aged 69 years. IN MEMOBIAM. WRIGHT. —In loving memory of Corporal George Henry Wright, 41920, killed in action in France, August 15th, 1918. Mourn not for him, nor lay your heart within that lonely grave; Think you those narrow hounds could hold that spirit pure and brave 1 Earth’s uniform discarded now beneath that sod is laid, He had his marching orders, as a soldier he obeyed. A soldier does not ask nor choose the place or way to serve, And from the path that duty points no soldier’s steps may swerve; So when from that red field of strife death’s bugle called him far, He turned his face towards the steep where Heaven’s outposts are. —lnserted by his loving parents, sister and brothel's.
WRIGHT. —In loving memory of our dear father, Corporal G. IT. Wright, killed in action in France, August 15th, 1918. Dearest one, how we miss you None but ourselves can tell. One thought with us will always linger, That you did your duty well. The call for thee was sudden, And pierced our hearts with pain, But our present loss and sorrow Is thy eternal gain. —lnserted by his loving sons.
