Life's labor done as sinks the day
Light from its load the spirit flies,
While heaven and earth combine to say,
"How blest the righteous when he dies."
So when life's sweet journey ends
Soul and body part like friends - -
No quarrels, no murmurs, no delay
A kiss, a sigh and so away.
Interment was made in Guide Rock Cemetery.
