Family Notices
IN MEMORIAM.
KEASEY. - In sad but loving memory of my dear mother, Mirriam Keasey, who died at Gillieston, East Greta, on June 19, 1912; aged, 78 years.
Dear is the grave where mother is laid.
Sweet is the memory that never shall fade.
Roses may wither, eyes cease to see.
If others forget, never shall we.
Tossed no more on life's rough pillow,
All storms of life have fled.
God has found a softer pillow,
For our darling mother's head.
Inserted by her loving daughter, Annie, and grandchildren, Alice, Muriel, and Edward Hutchinson.
[NOTE: Gillieston Heights is a suburb of the City of Maitland in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia]
