"How beautiful to be with God, When life is fading like a dream, And from this mist-encircled shore, We launch upon the unknown stream, No doubts, no fears, no anxious cares, But comforted by staff and rod, In faith brightened hour of death, How beautiful to be with God."
Funeral services were held Thursday, Jan. 10 at the Bentonsport Methodist Church, in charge of Rev. Milton Worthen of Ft. Madison. Burial was in Bentonsport Cemetery.
