Sister Cecile, thou were mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze;
Pleasant as the air of evening,
As it floats among the trees.
Peaceful be they silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low;
Thou no more wilt join our number,
Thou no more out songs can know.
Dearest Cecile, thou has left us,
And they loss we deeply feel;
But til God that has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the storms of life have fled;
Then in Heaven with hoy well greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.

Funeral services at the Congregational church at 2:30 Tuesday afternoon were conducted by the pastor, Rev. John T. Spriggs. The body was laid to rest in Bean cemetery.
