Remembrance card: 'In Loving Remembrance of Thomas Skinner. The Beloved Husband of Mary Skinner. Died April 2, 1902. Aged 80 years. Tis hard to break the tender cord, When love has bound the heart, 'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words, We for a time must part. Dearest loved one, we have laid thee, In the peaceful grave's embrace, But thy memory will be cherished, Till we see they heavenly face. A colonist of 48 years.'

Poem: 'My Album. Here I see familiar faces, Ranged together side by side, Occupying different places, Treasured with affections pride. Kith and kin and dead and living, Grave and gay and youth and age, Love selected lie reflected, Life like on each hallowed page. How the past invests the present, With its memories as I bend, Gazing on the features pleasant, Of some old familiary friend. Some in lands across the ocean, Exile like are doomed to roam, Others with a fond devotion, Linger still in childhoods home. And my spirit feels a pleasure, And a pride naught can excell, In possessing this one treasure, Of the friends I love so well.'
