IN MEMORIAM
A tribute of love and devotion to the memory of my loving son, James Asbury, who left us 2 years ago, March 16, 1938

"The month of March is here again
It’s the saddest day in the year
For two years ago today
My loving son passed away

"Peaceful be thy rest, dear Jimmie
Tis’ sweet to just call your name
In life we loved you so dearly
In death just the same

"In our aching hearts your memory lingers
You were faithful, loving, true
There is not a day that passes
That we do not think of you

"You, were gone Jimmie
For only a little while
We will never have another
To fill your place and smile

"Little did I think the last time I saw your sweet smiling face coming up the steps with all of your loved ones, Dec. 25, to celebrate that great day with mother, that was the beginning of heart aches.

a sister of my Aunt Lena Mae (Bane) Shrader. (I have another collage that is

Margaret Waggoner's marriage record gave her name as such. There was another
Elizabeth Waggoner in the same family. Middle name unknown of the second Elizabeth,
but she went by the name Elizabeth and Elizabeth Margaret "Peggy" Waggoner went by
the name "Peggy". Remember the German naming customs that were still used by
first and second generation German families. Usually all the female children, in one
family, might have the same first name which was a saints name and all the males might
have had the same first name also a saints name. These first names were usually dropped
after baptism.
