who departed this life one year ago today,
February 5, 1914:
How long he struggled againnt disease.
That bHffled «kill and care;
How long he lingered, racked with pain.
And suffering hard to bear.
Hour by hour we saw him fade.
And slowly sink away,
Yet in our hearts
That he might longer stay.
His willing hands are folded.
His toils
His troubles are all ended.
His heavenly crown Is won.

Oft we wander to the graveyard.
Flowers to place with loving rare
On the grave of our dear father.
Who so sweetly sleepeth there.
