"A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boom his love has given;
And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in Heaven."The funeral services were conducted at St. Joseph Catholic Church by Rev. Mosier and the remains were laid to rest in the Catholic Cemetery.
