      IN MEMORIAM.

      DOBBS - In loving remembrance of William, the beloved husband of Ann Dobbs, who died at Mount Morgan, 5th September, 1904, aged 65 years.
      A loving husband, a father dear,
      A tender parent was he here,
      In love he lived, in peace he died,
      Life was desired, but God denied.
      (Inserted by his sorrowing wife.)
