DEATHS.
..
GREEN.--On or about March 22, 1912, lost on the ill-fated Koombana, Edgar Percy, late of Somerset, England.
Sweet is the memory that never will fade,
Roses may wither, leaves fade and die,
If others forget you never will I.
--Inserted by his friend, Olive Fedders.

...
GREEN.-In loving memory of our dear friend, Edgar P. Green, late of Wraxall, Somerset, England, who was lost with the ill-fated Koombana, on or about March 20, 1912.
There the tears of earth are dried;
There its hidden things are clear;
There the work of life is tried
By a juster Judge than here.
Father, in Thy gracious keeping,
Leave me now Thy servants sleeping.
-Inserted by E. Noad and family.
