"Death should come gently
To one of gentle mould like thee,
As light winds, wandering through groves
of bloom,
Detach the delicate blossoms from the tree;
Close thine eyes calmly, and without pain,
And we will trust in God to see thee yet again.Mr. Lamphier and Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Phillips and family desire to express their sincere gratitude to all who assisted them in any way during their recent bereavement.
