St Louis, Mo. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear wife and mother, Mrs. Emma Brinkmann, who departed this life three years ago January 20, 1928. Dearest Mother, can it be true, Three weary years have passed, Since God called you? The call was short, the shock severe, To part with one we loved so dear. A happy home we once enjoyed How sweet the memories still But death has left a vacant place This world can never fill.

You shall never be forgotten, Never shall our memories fade. Lonely hearts will always linger. Where our dearest mother Is laid. Sadly missed by her loved ones. MARRIAGE LICENSES Jacob Stenzel St.
