Back to the cold world I will not go
Back to the old paths of pain, of woe,
Back to the old life of sin, O no!
I've found a life that is sweeter to me,
Fuller of joy than the old life could be.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Presbyterian church in Giltner, and was conducted by the Rev. Dr. Bailey of Aurora, assisted by the R. N. A. lodge of which she as a charter member, in Giltner. The Degree of Honor also attended in a body and thus expessed their regard for their departed sister, as she was also a member with them. After the services at the church, the remains were borne to the Seaton cemetery, ¼ mile south of Giltner, and laid to rest. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the stricken husband and children.
