The funeral was held at the Free Methodist church Wednesday afternoon and the body was laid to rest in the Oak Hill cemetery. The Free Methodist pastor preached the sermon from Rev. 14:13-14 to a house full of sympathizing friends and loved ones.

“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.”
