Funeral services were conducted at the Slade Funeral home in Leon, Jan. 25, at 2:30 p.m., by W. J. Campbell, and the body was laid to rest in the Leon Cemetery.

We have lost our beloved brother,
He has bid us all adieu;
He had gone to live in heaven,
And his form is lost to view,
Oh, that dear one, how we'll miss him!
Oh, how hard to give him up.
But an angel came down and removed him from our flock.
