It is not death to die to leave this
weary road
Admist the brotherhood on high-to
be home with God.
It is not death to close the eye long
dimmed by tears
And wake in glorious repose, to spend
eternal years.
It is not death to fling aside this
sinful dust,
And rise, on strong exulting wing, to
live among the just.
Jesus, Thou Prince of Life, Thy
chosen cannot die!
Like Thee, they conquer in the strife,
to reign with Thee on high.
Funeral services were held at Cedar Point, Sunday afternoon by E. R. Foiles and interment was made in the Clements cemetery.
