He will be missed as a good man always is, by his wife who must face the sunset years bereft of hfs cheerful presence, by his children who looked to him for counsel, by hosts
of friends and neighbors who had learned to love him for his true worth.
His work is finished, his eyes which have been closed to earth's scenes, now open In a land that is fairer than day.
