1890 May 14 Singleton Argus IN MEMORIAM BALLENTYNE.—In loving memory of our beloved daughter, Ellener Ann Ballentyne who died at Singleton, 16th May, 1888 Dearest daughter, thru hast left us, Here thy loss we deeply feel, But 'tis God that hath bereft us, He can still our sorrows heal. Yet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life has fled, Then in heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tear is shed. Inserted by her loving father and mother William and Mary Ann Griffith.
