DIXON.-In loving memory of my dear father, who departed this life on the 13th November, 1928.
I was not there at the hour of death
To hear his last faint sigh,
To whisper just one loving word,
Or even say good-bye.
Inserted by his son, Malcolm.
DIXON. — in loving memory of my dear father. Who passed away at Williamstown Hospital on the 13th November, 1928.
He did not fail to do his best,
His heart was kind and tender.
He did work hard for those he left,
With half his pain not confessed,
And from his sad suffering
God released him and gave him rest.
Sadly missed.
— Inserted by his loving son, Charlie.^[5]
