Here we
lived when we were small,
The five Peace girls and Will,
And
though we went away to school
We thought of Wycombe still,
For
we had friends and family
Both up the hill and down
And
two of us found husbands here
From elsewhere in the town,
And
Edith went to Northwood
And Florence overseas
Which
only left poor Lilian
With no spouse left to please.
Minnie
married Arthur Clarke of Castle Hill, Edith married Acton Bucknall of
Northwood, Nellie
married Fred Skull of Bassetsbury Manor, Florence married the
Rev
Hugh Chignell and went to South Africa. Lilian remained a
spinster and looked after her father at 89/90 Easton Street after her
mother had died.
