NESTLER.— In loving memory of my beloved husband, George Nestler, who was accidentally killed at Woolgar on 1st December,1914.
Gone is the face we loved so dear,
Silent the voice we loved to hear;
Too far away for sight or speech
But not too far for my thoughts to reach
—Inserted by his sorrowing wife and child.

NESTLER. --In loving memory of our beloved son, George Nestler, who was accidentally killed at Woolgar on 1st. December, 1914.
How little we thought when we bid you good-bye,
You had left us, forever, to die.
No fonder son on this earth ever dwelt,
But God thought it best,
and took him to rest.
—Inserted by his sorrowing mother and father.

To a grave not far away,
Where we laid our dear, dear brother,
One sad year ago to-day.
