We travel down a winding road,
A road without an end,
And they who seem so far away,
Are only 'round the bend.
They face a brighter sunshine,
Softer breezes, skies more blue,
And sometime in their happiness
They'll meet again with you.
So let not your heart be troubled,
It is true that in the end
Happiness will follow sorrow,
When you meet around the bend.
The funeral services were held at the Christian church (sic) in Nelson Friday afternoon at two o'clock, conducted by Rev. C.M. Foust. Burial in the cemetery at Superior.
