PAINE - In sad and loving remembrance of my dear wife and mother, Levenia, who departed this life on the 9th (?) February, 1915, at 82 Wilkins street, Newport.

Long days and nights she bore her pain,
To wait for cure was all in vain,
She bore her pain and bore it well,
But what she suffered, none can tell,
Till God alone, who thought it best,
Did stop her paine and give her rest.
