Seeding was progressing nicely but

rain stopped blufing and called our

Ostrander last Wednesday while the

the sorrow of the bereaved relatives.

Dora who is so far away she could not
come. Her brother Wilson Ostrander
was also unable to attend the services
on account OF poor health. The home
cided what he will do. The people Of
him over the loss Of his LIES com.

seventy-seven is left to continue his
lonely journey alone. May he bravely
face his trials and troubles and be
ever in readiness to respond to the
call OF the Father.
