Newspaper-Articles

  • 22 Dec 1886: MEYER.—In loving remembrance of my dear husband, Edward Meyer, who died at Rose-street, Fitzroy, on the 23rd December, 1885, after a long and painful illness, native of Basle, Switzerland.
    Thou art not forgotten, my husband dear,
    Or wilt thou ever be.
    Until the unknown summers come,
    Then I shall be with thee.
    Twelve months have passed and time has fled,
    I still am lingering here,
    Awaiting the sound that call me away,
    From hence to thee.
    You may not deem it brave or strong.
    To let those tears so often fiow.
    But those who have lost a husband's love,
    Can tell the pain of my sad woe,
    What a friend we have in Jesus,
    All our sins and griefs to bear;
    What a privilege to carry,
    Everything to God in prayer.
    Gone, but not forgotten.
    Could I but all my father back again,
    And sit once more down by his side
    I would love him better than before,
    I'm lonely since my father died.
    Inserted by his loving son, Edward Meyer.8
