 Bruce has held several positions since finishing school. and no position did he ever hold but what the officials always wanted him again, so faithful was he to his duty Only a few mo- ments before death claimed him he spoke of wanting to get well so he could return to his work near Hous- 1 ton, Texas, where he was time keeper l for the Trinidad & Brazos railroad. i God knew best and called him home, for his life work was well done.

 There is no death, The stars go down
 To rise upon some fairer shore
 And bright in heavens jeWeled crown
 They shin, forever more
