This is Mrs. McArron's favorite poem:
With Tennyson, We say:
"Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar
When I put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
Where that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
'Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark.
For though from out our bourne of time and place
The flood may bear me far.
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar."
Funeral services were conducted Tuesday, December 16, 1952 at 2:00 pm at the L. B. Jones Funeral Home with the Rev. Virgil Walker officiating. Interment was in Oak Lawn cemetery under direction of L. B. Jones Funeral Home.
