In MemOriam

Leland Kerwood Bunker born
April 20, 1915 and died Dec 16, 1919.
Leland thou vast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the Summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air OF evening
When it floats among the trees.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou no more wilt Join our number,
Thou no more our songs shalt know
Dearest Leland thou has left us;
Here thy loss we deeply feel
But lis God who has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows feel.
Yet again We hope 10 meet thee,
When the day Of life has fed,
Then in Heaven with Joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
