The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, May 30, 1907

JAMES SUMMERS, a former resident of this county, but for years past has
lived in Calhoun County, died recently at the home of his daughter, MRS. WM.
DRAKE, who sent the following memorial:

"Yes, father is laid away to rest

In the silent abode of the burial ground --

Away from pain and earthly cares.

Yes, father is gone --

Gone over the river of death

Into the silent land;

Weary was the parting

But we trust that bye and bye

We shall meet again

In a world where sorrows are unknown;

Where everlasting spring abides

To live forevermore --

Thus time doth make its mark

Upon us all and writes the sad words

'Passing Away.' "
