No trembling sad farewell
From his quivering lips was heard,
So softly he crossed that quiet
stream
When not ripple stirred.
We were spared the parting of
tears
He was spared the mortal strife,
1t was scarcely dying,
He only passed in moment to end
less life.
The deceased leaves a widow,
three sons and one daughter, Chas.
Swain and Mrs. Mia Martin of Mil
ford, and Harvey and Harry Swain
of this town; two brothers and two
sisters, Frank and Elmer Swain,
