“Dearest son and brother,
Thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel
But it is God who has bereft us
He can all our sorrows heal.

Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tear is shed.”

We desire to thank those kind friends and neighbors who in our sore affliction have ministered to our wants and who sent in flowers and other tokens of neighborly kindness in our affliction. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Strattan. The Newton (IA) Journal, Wednesday, November 1, 1893.
