Church at Jena, Thursday, May 23, at Eden Church.  The body was laid to rest 
in the cemetery there.

In a far off cemetery safely sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave.
Lies my dear old father in a lonely grave.
It is sweet to breathe your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
Its a short time since you left us
And we miss you more and more,
Our hearts are filled with sadness
For sweet smiles we see no more.
We hope to meet you on yonder shore.

One Who Loves You
