Inserted by S.D.H. RHODES.— In loving remembrance of our dear mother. Hannah Rhodes, the beloved wife of Frederick Rhodes, who departed this life on the 17th July, 1889, after a few hours' illness, aged 45 years. She ceased to breathe— no more— no chance To tell us she was dead : She ceased to breathe and that was all ; No last farewell was said. No last farewell, no lingering look To treasure up alway ; But like a weary child in sleep Her spirit passed away.
RHODES.— In loving remembrance of our dear sister, Hannah, the beloved wife of Fredrick Rhodes, Mount Pleasant, Bulleen. All is dark within our dwellings, Lonely are our hearts to-day; For the one we loved so dearly Has for ever passed away. —Inserted by J. S. Dossett. ^[5]
