nepheWs. The interment was in the |
family lot at Fry cemetery, Wood
bury Post, G.. A. r. performed their |
burial service at the grave.
He answered the call to come higher, |
Released from suffering, and toll,
To meet all the friends gone before |
Who once walked with him the soil.
The journey of life is now ended,
In bodily form on earth;
But that which we lovingly chung to |
Was ever of much more worth.
The spirit which lived in the body
Is still with us today;
For spirit is deathless; and change
less;
And memory serves Away.
