"There is a reaper whose name is Death
And with his sickle keen
He reaps the bearded grain at breath
And the flowers that grow between.
This reaper has come to Happy Valley
chapter O. E. S. and removed one of our
oldest members, Isaac S. Staples. AS
Chapter we mourn his loss and
Resolve, That 1st, we sorrow, but are
thankful he has been spared so long to
cheer by his presence, and guide by his
counsel.
End, We extend our heartfelt SYM
pathy to the f-mily and as Chapter.
We share our mutual woes
Our mutual burdens bear,
And often for each other flows
The sympa thiZlng tear.

lions to the family, copy to be spread
on the records and copy sent to the
