This bright young man had lived not
only to endear himself TO his parents and
sisters, but to all who knew him. Seldom
do we see one 20 young have so many
friends to lament his death. He bore his
sufferings calmly, and such beautiful and
peaceful ending one seldom ever witnesses
He fully realized that he was going TO die,
and bid his friends not to weep for him fol
they should all soon join him in that
bright home above. Those who listened
TO his words should try to live SO that theil
last moments mig ht be as peaceful as were
his The large funeral that followed
Johnnie to his final resting place was an
evidence of how much he was respected by
both old and Young. A golden bow.
broken. What comfort to know that the
spirit has returned to God who gave it.
Gone homel gone home!
OH shall We ever reach him.
Gee him again, and know him for oui
ownl
Will he conduct US to the Heavenly
Teacherg
But be vino bids our sorrow cease
And from all care be free;
Has called him TO his home above
No more sorrow to see.
