In Memory of Mr. Sedley L. Bracey.
My sense of personal loss is so keen, my sympathy with his nearest and dearest ones so great, as I think of their overwhelming sorrow, that my pen almost falters as I write of my friend, Mr. Sedley L. Bracey. He was born October 9, 1873, and passed away shortly after midnight, Thursday, July 8, 1909. Mid sorrowing relatives and friends his remains were laid to rest in the city cemetery Friday afternoon July 9. His death was a shock, not only to loved ones, but to all his friend as well. Our city will be poorer without him and lonelier. I have not grown accustomed to the thought that he is no longer with us, that we will never more gaze on his face; that never again will he work among those he so much loved. At the fireside and table his chair will forever remain unoccupied. From a human standpoint it seems indeed hard, that a life so young, a life so full of hopes, should be taken from us so quickly. His true devotion to his mother was simply beautiful. Dear friends, one more link is added to your family chain that has passed on before. The best of all, dear friends, God is in your home; to sad, there rests upon it not a pall of darkness, but there is permeating it the glorious light and consolation of the gospel of Christ. then in all love and sympathy, I beg you to look upward. For Sedley has only gone to the clime
"Waiting for others
Coming some time
Safe with the angels,
Whiter than snow.
Watching for dear ones
Waiting below."
