Mr. Corrington not only lived his life on the farm, but he loved farm life. The changing seasons with their varied tasks, the mystery of seed time and growth; the joy of harvest; whether in the field or garden were a source of never ending communion and wonder as well as challenge.

Organist for the service was Mrs. Ivan Bushlow. Mrs Ben Abels and Hobert Johnson sang as a duet "Beyond the Sunset" and "The Old Rugged Cross."
