SMITH.—In sad but loving memory of my dear sister, Elizabeth Ann Smith, who departed this life 27th May, 1907, aged 78 years.    
We saw her suffering day by day,  
It caused us bitter grief
To see her slowly pine away,    
And could not give relief.        
Not dead to us, we love her dear,
Not lost, but gone before,
She lives with us in memory still,    
And will for evermore.      
Inserted by her loving sister, Mrs. James Gill, Ulmarra.    9
