! Meigs, O., May 80, 1926
Aunt Sarah Ann:-On this con-
secrated Sabbath day, consecrated to
the brave men of the fallen ranks OF
the greatest army the world has
! ever known-except the army of
King Jesus, we with our mind on
thoughts like these; thoughts which
our weak brain is incapable of
guiding into very far: The bravery
| and devotion of men; the love and
power of God. We will attempt to
write you few lines. Sickness has
kept us from writing sooner. Glad
you are better and that Uncle Tim
othy feels better. / knew he would
perk up when the open season for
candidates came. Uncle better de-
eide soon now whether he viii be
candidate for sheriff or not. Per-
haps he had better talk with Mont
first They tell us they are urging
Mont to stay in. We understand all
the trouble he would have would be
with fellow by the name of Dugan
who recently came to this country
We understand the Dugans were po-
litical leaders in the old country
lords or something. Since Jessie
Hatton announced herself for aud
itor, Republicans seem to have the
| idea only one can run for that Of
fee If Uncle Timothy don't run,
Willie thinks he will announce for
clerk of courts. We feel that when
we get in fight we want to get in a
real one, and that brings US back to
where we started We decorate the
graves and eulogize the dead of our
fallen armies-eXcept the political
army They are forgotten just as
though they had never been born.
We passed a house last night we had
been passing and entering many
times week for the last IL years
and last night was the first time we
ever knew it to be vacant for an en-
tire night. We can't tell you how
we felt. Another family that had
made up our community had likely
gone out and said farewell to that
house as their home. l couldn't help
wondering if when we go out OF
this house of our earthly taber-
nacle," and folks look on the empty
house with the blinds down, they
will have feelings for us in compari-
son with what we felt as we looked
on the house of wood and stone.
Aunt Sarah Ann, we can't write One
of that family Gilbert Carnes, was a
schoolmate; was and is, and will be,
our friend while we sojourn here be-
low. And may we not hope and
pray that we may be permitted to
walk and talk on that other shore,
of the happy days we spent here be-
low. When the tears blind your
eyes till you can't see the lines, 1t
must be time to say goodbye.-Wil-
lie.
