Welcome to The Briercliffe Society Forum

With restless days and sleepless nights
My weary frame was sore opprest,
Till God the silver cord did break,
And gave the heavy-laden rest.

Farewell, dear wife, my life is past,
You loved me dearly to the last;
Mourn not for me, nor sorrow take
But love my children for my sake.

139, Lowerhouse Lane, Burnley

In affectionate Remembrance of JAMES, the beloved husband of Jane Duckworth, who departed this life March 21st, 1904, Aged 55 years, and was interred at the Burnley Cemetery March 25th.
