General Notes: Husband - Joseph Lawrence Shivery

---

He climbed a tree in pursuit of squirrels, but while standing on a decayed limb it broke, and he was precipitated to the ground, a distance of some forty feet, whereby his neck was broken, death ensuing instantly.

IN MEMORY OF JOSEPH LAWRENCE SHIVERY.

The autumn leaves were gold and red,
The summer birds had flown,
When Lawrence's spirit took its flight
To worlds of joy unknown.
He was dashed down so cruelly;
We gathered by his side-
In agony we stood about
When we found that he had died.
When smoothing down his glossy locks,
We laid his hands to rest,
From all the cares and toils of earth,
Upon his manly breast.
His voice, his step, no more we hear,
At morning's early gleam;
But on his face a farewell smile,
As if in pleasant dream.
His body sleeps upon a hill,
Beside his little brother,
And may his spirit rest in peace
Forever and forever.

We miss thee from our home, dear-
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow o'er our life is cast-
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee-
We miss thee everywhere.
