A light is from our household gone,
A voice we loved is still;
A place left vacant on our hearth
Which never can be filled.
Farewell, wife and children dear,
Sisters and brothers kind;
And fond relations whom I loved,
I leave you all behind.
The relatives and friends of the family are respectfully invited to attend his funeral, from his late residence, No. 59 Brune street, on Tuesday afternoon, 15th instant, at half-past two o'clock.
