conducted by Rev. Nelson C. Brown assisted by Dr. B. A. Black.  Interment was 
made in Union Cemetery under the direction of W. C. Price & Son, local 
morticians.  Floral tributes were beautiful and numerous.

  "Looking back, said he to me, As a fellow will, to see
All that's happened through the years;
Living over smiles and tears;
Picturing all that's come and gone
All through life he's journeyed on,
Then he learns how much depends
On deserving, faithful friends.

Meyersdale Republican, March 5, 1942
