Wanderings

Albert Parsons Howes
Died 22nd July 1908, aged 18 years.

Erected by his comrades of Yerranderie A.M.A.

He left his home in perfect health,
never thinking death was near,
not dreaming that he never would
return to his parents dear.

A painful shock, a dreadful blow –
Oh, Albert, dearest, we miss you so.
Our loss is great; we’ll not complain,
But trust to God to meet again.
Rest, dearest Albert, sweetly rest.
They miss you most who loved you best.

Ernest Victor Edwards
Accidentally killed in the New Burragorang Silver Mine
9th October 1913,
Aged 18 years.

Although your hand we cannot clasp,
Your face we cannot see,
Still let this little token tell
That we remember thee.
