A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we love is still,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled,
The boon his love has given;
And though the body moulders here
The soul is safe in heaven William Theodore HARRIS and Musetta HAWKINS had the following children:
