SHARP.— In loving memory of our dear husband and father Robert Corbett Sharp, who died suddenly on the Great Boulder Mine, August 18th, 1910.
We little thought your time on earth,
So short with us to remain,
Nor when from home you went,
You would never return again.
Peaceful be they silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low,
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou no more our song will know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled,
And in heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.
—Inserted by his loving wife and family.
