There are times in our earthly ex-

to express our feelings. Our hearts
are too full to give full expression

with us. We find it impossible to
employ words which will adequately
express our feeling of gratitude to
the people OF Elko for their sympathy
and acts of kindness during the Ill

brother, Clyde. Iftears and prayers
and sympathy. az well as kind acts
could possibly save anyone from dis
solution, surely our dear one would
be with us to-day. But it was the
will of our loving Father in Heaven
to call him from the cares, Sorrows
and sufferiugs of our life, to that
great and blessed life above, where
tho tear will never dim the eye and
where no care or. sorrow Gun ever
enter.
We desire to express to everyone
who entered into sympathy with us.
and who assisted US in bearing the

Chris Reckdert was genial kindly

pleasant memories Of his life dwell
