Crew, of this city, and was a member of the well known family who, in the early days, resided in Queen street, opposite the Ululah reserve.
CLEMENTS.— In loving memory of Edward Clements, who was accidentally killed at Maleny, June 12th, 1916.
He left his home in perfect health,
Never thinking death was near ;
Not dreaming that he never would
Return to wife and children dear.
Inserted by his loving wife and children.
