Laughlin Charles McManus 1881-1927

The marble book has come loose.
A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY
                         OF
MY DARLING HUSBAND
LAUGHLIN CHARLES MCMANUS
BORN 14TH AUGUST 1881
DIED 14TH JANUARY 1927
IN THE 46TH YEAR.

Farewell! 'tis mine
Thy virtues to deplore
To linger here and
Feel thy aid no more,
Oh! Still rever'd,
This frail memorial take,
'Tis all, alas! thy sorrowing
 wife can make 
On this poor stone
To mark thy dearest worth
And claim the spot
That hold thy sainted earth.
      ----------------
Farewell! Beloved "Until the day dawns and the shadows flee away".
