ceases TO throb responsive to the love
of friends, while death has clasped his
beloved form in its cold embrace and
claimed him as its own. He sleeps on

Waters, many thousand miles away,
but we watt him a soft farewell across
the wild gorges and snowy peaks Of
the Rocky Mountains, from our home
,on "the Golden Shores Of the Pacific" I"

babe, we offer the heartfelt sympathy
of far-distant friend.
