In Memoriam
In sad and loving memory of our dear husband and father, John Heslet, who passed away 7 years ago, December 22, 1920.

He bade no one a let farewell. He said good-bye to none. His loving heart had ceased to beat and before we knew it he was gone. His cheerful smile and kind ways we pleasantly recall. He had a kind word for everyone and died beloved by all; our hearts will filled with sorrow, to think he had to go.

Sadly missed by Mrs. N.A. Heslet and children.
