Here lies

All That Was Mortal

of

JOHN ALBERT HOLMES JR.

Born January 6, 1904, Died August 3, 1934

Mowed Down in His Prime.

Deeply Mourned

by a Host of Friends

Whose Heavy Loss Leaves the World the Poorer for

His Untimely Passing.

His Upright Life Was a Shining

Example and a Torch of Truth.

IN MEMORY OF THIS

wise teacher, faithful friend, good

counselor, citizen without peer, respected

pew-holder in the First Unitarian Church, famous

descendant of a famous family line, generous benefactor

of the poor of his native town, guide and fried

of the young, and ornament to his profession,

dutiful son, exemplary brother, and

loving husband

HIS GRIEVING WIFE, HIS SORROWING PARENTS, HIS LOVING

FRIENDS, HIS BREAVED BROTHERS AND SISTERS, HIS LOYAL

COLLEAGUES IN THE REALM OF LETTERS HAVE ERECTED THIS

memorial to one

whose place can never be

filled again.
