In Memoriam. HAYDEN. — In sad but loving memory of our dear father, who departed this life at "The Plantation," Bundella, 6th August, 1902. In whom we loved has gone from us, And we are left alone; Oh, may his gentle spirit be A star to guide us home. Our loss is now a heavenly gain, There is no more sorrow, no more pain, His willing hands will work no more, He rests upon a happier shore. [Inserted by his loving son and daughter-in-law, H. J. and J. Hayden (Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative, Monday 15 August 1904, page 2).
