ranion both in and out of the
sick room. He was our trusted ad

affections and high place in our
esteem.

character together with a genial
ity and helpfulness of spirit which
F., in itself was as a medicine in time
of sickness.

reavement and realize that the
passing from this life Of your hus-
band was a distinct loss not only
to his large circle Of friends but
also to the larger city and county
community in which he lived and
worked.
We shall share also in the mem
cries of his good life among us,
memories that will afford to you
and your children comfort and in
spiration in the years to come.
And we commend to you and them
the consolation of our common
faith so we'll expressed in New
mans prayer
$50 long Thy power hath best me
sure it still
Will lead me on
Ger moor and en-, DER crag and
torrent till
The night is gone
And with the morn those angel
faces smile
Which have loved long since and
lost awhile"
