Source: Crawfordsville Journal Review (?) 1 May 1941 ? In loving memory of our son, Vernon B. Dowden, who passed away one year ago, May the 1st.

God saw that you was suffering,

And the hills were hard to climb,

So he closed your weary eyes,

And whispered Peace be Thing,

The flowers were place upon your grave

May wither and decay,

But the love for him who sleeps beneath

Will never fade away.

Sadly missed by:

Mr. and Mrs. J. Dowden
