But though our hearts are aching, 

For the loved one who is gone, 

We try to say with earnest prayers, 

“Tis well, Thy will be done.” 

We know he is Thine and not our own. 

Thou hast not done us wrong. 

We thank Thee for the precious gift 

Bestowed on us so long,

And so we leave him with Thee,

To judge as thou sees best,

And bend ourselves unto Thy will

And say, “Rest, Sweet Rest.”

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon Oct. 12, at 2 o’clock in the 
Liberal U.B. church, Rev. C.H. Zuse officiating. Burial in Lakeside cemetery.
