mourn the loss of "Billie," as he was known. He was always willing to lend a 
helping hand wherever needed. One sister, Jennie Belle, preceded him to the 
better world.
   Darling Billie he has left us,
     And our grief we cannot tell,
   But we know the Saviour took him,
     And He doeth all things well.
