With asking hearts and troubled minds
To see him in the grave confined.
In behalf of the bereft Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, we express our heartfelt thanks to the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs and their friend for the tender care and sympathy throughout their deep affliction.
While lonesome and along
We shall think of the dear one.
And amidst this deep sorrow of woe
Our tears for him will overflow.
Yet bear up we know we much
Than only in Lord can we trust;
That when the darkest mist clar away
Again we shall see him some bright day.
M.D. Strout, M.E. Pastor.
