Mother is rocking thy lowly bed
All night long, all night long.
Happy to smooth thy curley head,
To hold thy hand and to sing her song.
Tis not for the hill folks dwarfed and old,
Nor the song of thy father staunch and bold,
And the burden it beareth is not of gold;
But it is love, love—nothing but love—
Mothers love for her baby.
The funeral services were conducted at the Christian church at Grenola by Mrs. Belle Yates, assisted by Rev. Schooley the local pastor at 11 o’clock Sunday, November 4th and the body was followed to its last resting place by a large concourse of friends.
