He was a member Of Mt. Hebron

death. He wanted everybody to meet
him in heaven. Oh, how sad ard
lonely without him!
Dearest father, you have left us,
Lonely are our hearts today;
Death hath of you bereft US, -
Taken you so far away.
Dearest father, you have lett US,
But in our hearts we deeply feel
That tits God that hathfbereft Us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Thou hast left US oh so sad and lonely
Oh, how we miss you, miss each kind
and gentle word!
No more in the lonely household
Shall your tender voice be heard.
But up yonder in the portal
That is shining bright and fair,
Father now is sheltered
BY the Savior's loving care.
For, alas. the Savior called you
CaNed you from this world of woe I
Aud your soul hath ascended
From its earthly home below.
So, fare thee well, our dear father!
You have only gone before,
If we are but as faithful,
We shall reach the golden shore.

hearted daughter, Frances.
