In Memoriam — Richard J. Chandler

CHANDLER— In sad and loving memory of a beloved husband, Richard J. Chandler, who passed away February 13, 1935. Getting used to being lonesome, that's the hardest cross to bear, Getting used to all the sorrow, you were once so quick to share. Getting used to being lonesome, that what I must learn to do. The blow was heavy, the shock severe, I little thought that death was so near, But only those who have lost can tell, His vacant place there is none to fill.

—Sadly missed by wife Armenia
