Muriel, daughter of Captain W.G. Carleton, died 1908

             In Loving Memory of
               MURIEL (DOTTIE)
   THE DEARLY LOVED AND ONLY 
                 DAUGHTER OF
CAPTAIN W.G. AND ANNIE CARLETON
         DIED 28TH OCTOBER 1908
      AGED 17 YEARS AND 9 MONTHS
                             **
   " A LIGHT IS FROM OUR...."
                             **
GONE FROM EARTH BUT OT FORGOTTEN
NEVER CAN HER MEMORY FADE
SWEETEST THOUGHTS WILL EVER LINGER
ROUND THE SPOT WHERE SHE IS LAID
                              **
YET AGAIN WE HOPE TO MEET HER
WHEN THE DAY OF LIGHT IS FLED
THERE IN HEAVEN WITH JOY TO GREET HER
WHEN NO FAREWELL TEAR IS SHED.

Blogger: I often consult the net to check on an inscription or a name and this time I came
across  Dr Ken Matto's blog post on cemeteries that more or less explains my interest
in graveyards!
