high esteem as was this young man.
His life, though passed before the sun

parents one sister, Esther, of Bangor,
and two brothers, Carlton of this

Death. There is not death.
10 dir is but To pass within the gates
or some strange city where new
life compensates.

day,
And loving hands we know but may
