We missed the bright eyes of our darling child
And the sweet rosy life that so oft on us smiled"

Sacred to the memory of
PETER FLOECK
born Aug. 11, 1834
at Muehlein, Germany
died Nov. 6, 1887
It's hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart,
'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words
"We must forever part"
Dearest loved one, we must lay thee
In the peaceful graves embrace
But thy memory will be cherished
"'Till we see thy heavenly face"
