 "When the many ones we love,

Enter into the rest above,

When their words of love and cheer,

Fall no longer on the ear,

Hush! Be every murmer dumb,

It is only 'till he comes.

There is no death! An angel form

Walks o'er the earth with silent tread,

And bears our best loved ones away,

And then we call them dead."

 

The funeral services were held at the U.B.Church Thursday afternoon, June 9, conducted by Rev. J.J. Kidder, and the body was laid to rest in the Olin cemetery.
