In loving memory of ELIZA MANHIRE, who died at 13, Adelaide St., Camborne, March 17th, 1925.

At the gates of Heaven she will meet us
With her loving sweet smile;
We are only parted, dear mother
Just for a little while.

We miss you because we love you
And your loving ways recall,
To part with you, dearest mother,
Was the saddest thing of all.

Inserted by her sorrowing husband and children Abroad and Home.
