With death there is always sadness
but in the loss of this noble young
man it is more than usual. He was
young and in the prime of life with
every bright prospect before him.
His was a happy home, unmarried by
harsh words or neglect-a home
where affection and devotion abound
ed; a devoted wife who surrendered
all and was with him through his
sickness to the end; two sweet chill
dren who will miss the fathers ten
der care and training; a father and
mother whom he loved and hOnOred
and who relied upon his advice and
assistance in all business affairs. For
years he has cheerfully carried the
load of responsibility and relieved
his father of business cares When
there seemed to be so much depend
ing on him and he could be lily
spared, we ask, why should he be
taken?" There is no answer Death

Carl was not like many young men
of this day and age. He had no bad
habits. He was clean, honest, upright
and was held with most high esteem
by the entire community. His highest
aim was to do what he knew to be
right. The writer has known him
since a boy and can say from per-
sonal knowledge he was a good boy
and grew to be a good man. Good
deeds in this world will be rewarded
in the next.

keenly felt in his immediate family
and by near relatives, but not them
