FARNWORTH – In loving memory at Pte. Joseph Farnworth, who died from pneumonia on Nov. 4th, 1918, in hospital in France.
His heart was good his spirit brave,
His resting place a soldier’s grave;
Without a smile or shake of hand
He left us for a better land.
– From Mr. and Mrs. Almond and Family, Barnoldswick.
