MURTHA.—In loving remembrance of our dear baby, who died at Minginew on July 3, 1912, aged 6 months.

Beloved by all who knew her.

Midnight stars are gleaming

Upon our darling's grave,

Sleeping without dreaming,

Lies one we could not save.

She was too good for this cold earth,

Too beautiful to stay.

It was the angels knew her worth

And carried her away.

—Inserted by her loving father, mother, and sisters, P. M. M. D. I. T. L. Murtha^[3]
