Sometime, when all life's lessons have been learned,
And suns and stars forevermore have set,
And we shall see how all God's plans are right,
The things o'er which we grieved with lashes wet.
Will flash before us out of life's dark night,
As stars shine most in deeper tints of blue;
And we shall see how all God's plans are right,
And how what seems reproof was love most true.
Funeral services were conducted from the home Wednesday afternoon with Rev. J. Roby Oldham, D.D. pastor of the Beecher Presbyterian Church, officiating. Interment in Greendale cemetery, with Fitch Bros. in charge.
