A precious one from us has gone

A voice we loved is stilled:
A place is vacant in our home.

Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled.

The boon his love had given.
And though the body slumbers here.

The soul is safe in Heaven.

Funeral was held Sunday, June 30, at 2:30 P.M. at Calvary Evangelical church, Rev. L.T.Olson officating, and burial in the family lot in Oak Hill cemetery.
