       In Memoriam


Phair, Bella, daughter died 10 April 1904 buried in city cemetery, Belfast. Family living
in Mountcollyer Ave, Belfast.

There is only a river between us
   
Parting our loved one a while,
Only a veil that divides us,
   
Hiding the light of her smile.

            In Memoriam


Michael J. Gillen killed in action at Gallipoli July 22nd 1916.

Sleep on dear son in a far off land,
   
In a grave we may never see,
But as long as life and memory last,
   
We shall still remember thee.

Also Lizzie Mulligan nee Gillen, died 22 March 1916.
