in the new lands, carried them through the hard years of making homes and raising families in the hard pioneer life.

These brave hardy souls lie in the historic riverside cemetery and behind the present St. Mary’s. From writing this history, we boys and girls know that every foot of the rich soil is steeped in history.

Blood, sweat and tears and toil were the slogan of the last war. Many of the sons of Indian River lie on foreign soils, having given their lives in two World Wars. No less are they heroes who made our homes, tilled the soil and gave us a noble heritage. '

(In memory of David MacDonald, Killed in Action, Italy, Dec. 13, 1943.)

Spring will come on the green Italian hills;

And just as surely Peace will sometime lay

Her healing touch on those far tortured lands And the‘brave men who fought to victory

Return to hear their Country’s proud “Well done.”

But you are never coming home again . . .. Never your bounding footsteps on the stair, Never your quiet humor, teasing smile,

Your high enthusiasm, your boyish dreams.
