IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE OF
Solomon Martin Sparks,
Born March 9, 1850,
Died Feb. 15, 1904,
Age 53 yrs, 11 mos., 6 days.
Tis hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart
Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words
"We must forever part"
Dearest loved one, we must lay thee,
In the peaceful grave's embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished,
Til we see thy heavenly face
