ambition and fame, yet all these could
not stay the inevitable, the ruthless hand
of death was not stayed, but claimed one
more that his home, his work and Yer

lily spare. May his busy, useful and
successful life be an example and serve
to spur on some worthy one to emulate
his qualities and strive to make them
