IN MEMORIAM
FRED. PARRY HODGES
27 October, 1880; Lyme Regis
Nigh fifty years he served the allotted flock,
And from earth's pastures led them to the Rock,
And guided where the living waters run,
God's gift to man through His ascended Son.
True, generous, kind, he lived the Faith he taught;
Preach'd in his deeds, and by example wrought.
With us he pray'd, and for us:—and now we
Pray that with him our After-death may be.
