Through all pain at times she'd smile
A smile of Heavenly birth;
And when the angels called her home,
She smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps
And the sunbeams love to linger,
Where our sainted mother sleeps.
Funeral services were held Friday afternoon October 1st, at 2:30, at the Klawitter Chapel. Rev. V.R. Daniels of Harvard conducted the services, assisted by Rev. Clarence Powell.
