R. Fitch, was born September 1, 1901, at North Bend, Nebraska, and met his death by drowning June 11, 1910, at Payette, Idaho, in the Payette river. He was a bright manly little fellow, a member of the Baptist Sunday School, being a constant attendant and taking great pride in his standing in the class. The funeral services were conducted from the home of his parents on Sunday afternoon by the Rev. Kyles, of the Fruitland Baptist church, the remains being laid to rest in Riverside cemetery. The following tribute to the manly little fellow who gave up his own life in an endeavor to save that of his brother was written by Miss Lois Moore his Sunday School and music teacher. Little Jay, sleep sweetly, In your bed of clay. Now you are with Jesus, lad you'll be alway. Little hands lie quiet, All the summer night. Little soul with Jesus, Pure, and clean, and white. But we'll miss you ever, From our Sabbath class. Where each Sabbath morning, Pleasant hours we pass. We'll miss your cheerful voice, In our song and prayer. But we know you're happier, With Jesus up there. Dear Jay, you remind us, That we too must go To meet our dear Saviour. Leave our friends below. And we'll try remember, Our Saviour to live near So we'll meet in heaven, With our classmate dear.
