"I know the night is drawing near,
The mists lie low on hill and bay;
The autumn sheaves are dewless, dry,
But I have had day.
Yes, I have had, dear Lord, the day
When at Thy call I have the night,
Brief be the twilight as I pass
From light to dark, from dark to light."
Funeral services were held Thursday, March 30, 1950, at 2:30 p.m., at the Edgar Methodist Church with John W. Howard, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Edgar in charge.
Mrs. John Ough and Mrs. Robert Mikkelsen sang "Abide With Me," "In the Garden" and "Good Night Here and Good Morning Up There." Mrs. Lydia Phelps was at the piano.
