SADLY MISSED AND DEEPLY MOURNED
MURRAY-killed in action in France, February 1, 1917, Lance-corporal William Murray, the dearly beloved brother of Mr. and Mrs. Solomon, of 86 Abercrombie street, city.
Somewhere in France they have laid him,
A soldier so young and so brave.

He sleeps in a hero's grave.
