S. Moye, Sr., who was called home Oct. 23, 1933. He was old and bent and wrinkled, This dear, kind grandad of mine, But one of the finest fellows Our God ever designed! His work he always commenced, Ere the chicks were up in the morn, And oft had to wait for the rising sun Before starting to hoe his corn. Whatever his duty, he never slighted it. He worked 'till the sun set in the West Before laying down his tools To go home, to bed and to rest. Six days only he labored, As God said he should. Then he rested on the seventh, And attended church whenever he could. Four years ago he left his work For me and you to do; Are we holding up his standards? Are we to his ideals remaining true? Four years! Why it seems only yesterday, We say [sic] him sitting in his chair; So vivid are the mem'ries we hold: Of Grandad--who's Over There. A Granddaughter.
