Death chilled the fair fountain e're sorrow had stained it. 'Twas frozen in all the pure light of its course. And but sleeps till the Sunshine of heaven has unchained it, To enter that Eden where first was its course. The funeral services were held at the home at 10:30 Thursday morning conducted by Rev. W. J. Prestidge and interment was in Lakeside cemetery.
