RECORDS

Whate’er you say, whate’er you do,
Be it for shame or enduring glory,
From your cradle days to the end of life,
You’re writing your life’s secret story.

Each month ends a thirty-page chapter,
Each year means the end of a part,
and never an act is misstated,
Nor ever one wish of the heart.

Each day when you wake, the book opens
Revealing a page clean and white.
What thoughts and what words and what doings
Will cover its surface by night?

God leaves that to you, you’re the writer,
And never one word shall grow dim.
Till some day you write the word “finis,”
And give back your life book to him.

At this time we wish to add our greetings to all the family in wishing all a Merry Christmas and a happy, prosperous New Year.

August 31, 1957 was a very happy day in the family of Emerson A. Rowley as that is the day that his wife Sarah Marie was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Thanksgiving Day for the Emerson A. Rowley family will be very early this year so that the family can all celebrate the day together as Arthur will be returning to the Navy base, thereby leaving an empty chair at the table.
