The many friends of Mr.. Cecil
Stacey were greatly shocked to hear
of his death which occurred at his
home in Detroit, October Is, 1920.
Mr.. Stacey had been a sufferer from
hear trouble ,and rheumatism for
some time. He was planning to en-
ter the Mt. Clemens sanitarium when
the end came, being possessed OF
many desirable traits of character.
Not often found in this day and gen.
Grafton. He had won many warm
friends where ever he went who will
miss him both at home and in Bel
ding, while he was employed for a
time at the Bedding Basket factory
but later returned to his home in
Detroit. Cecil Stacey, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Hurbert Stacey, was born
in Belding Mich, August 80. 1901
and departed this life October 10,
1920 at the home of his parents in
Detroit, Mich. at the age of 10 years
l month and 10 DAYS. He leaves to
mourn their loss a father, mother,
4 brothers and 2 sisters: Ray, Paul,
Burdette, Harold. Evelyn and Mar
euerite, besides many relatives and
friends. While we will sadly miss
the tender watchful care of our son
and the hearty hand clasp and cheer
full greeting of a true friend, we can
truly say: Gods WAYS are best and
what is our loss is Heavens gain.
We loved him, yes we loved him,
But he who loved him more,
Has called his tired spirit,
To Canpaan's blissful shore.
Though our hearts be torn with
- sorrow, $50
We can say, l"God's viii be DONE.
Well knowing well meet in. Heaven
With so noble and true son.
Like brook that goes leaping and.
dancing, --.-.
Thru woodland and meadows green,
Till its soft sweet gurgling music,
Is lost in some mighty stream.
So the brooklet of youth and
laughter,
Goes tripping through pain and
strife,
Till its feeble and weakened forces
Are caught in the streams of life.
As rain on the dropping lily,
Has gave it peerlessrstand,
So life has burst into beauty
BY the touch Of a master hand;
No longer the heart knows sorrows
Nor the soul its painful strife,
In the first faint flush Of evening,
He passed from death to life.
