In Memoriam
In loving rememberance of my dear husband and kind father, Ben Brauch, who departed t
his life May 31, 1914.
Our loving husband and father kind,
He was to us in heart and mind;
A faithful husband and father as well
When he on earth with us did dwell.
The moon and stars are shining on a lonely grave,
Where sleeps our dear father whom we loved but could not save,
Human life is like a flower, 
That blooms and withers in and hour;
Our loved one is gone and we are left alone,
But hope to meet again with Christ before the throne.
Sadly missed by Wife and Son.
