On the afternoon June 20, solemn
funeral train came creeping into our
vicinity and after services in Bowman
Chapel, conducted by Rev. Charles
Bentley, of the Union Baptist church,
tenderly disposed the aged form of
Mr.. Hugh McLeran in the adjacent
cemetery. Mr.. McLeran died in Au-
dubon, Friday night, June II, at the
home of his son-in-law, Mr.. Reese, a
few days subsequent to his arrival from
Oklahoma. AS we backward turn the
leaves of memOry's book we come to
a pleasant page written by the sincere
christian career of Mr. McLeran dur
ing the struggles incidental to carving
home from the wild prairies of
Greeley township. We recall our re-
grets when years ago he and the aged
wife, who now mourns, disposed of
their little home and hazarded the
proceeds in farm in far away Okla
homa. When we were recently told
of their intentions to come back and
visit the old homestead and friends
and neighbors of long ago, pleasant
anticipations burst into bloom only
to be blasted by this shocking mess
age, ''He is dead"
Not through windows earthly
Will he more behold
Happy paths forsaken.
Now his hands they fold
On his pulseless bosom
Silent, haunted room.
Tenant called to heaven
From the gathering gloom.
Standing by earth's ruins
Sobbing in the night,
Sad, tear-blinded mortals,
Mark you not the flight
OF the weary spirit
Into peace and light?
