No time for a last farewell,
No time for the shock of fear,
Scarcely a moment's halt on the shore
With the Gide and the boatmen near.
Dear, how surprised you were to go,
With little to suffer and little to know.
Only a moment of dark,
A dream of the Fleeting night
And then the beautiful break of day
And the quiet peace of light
And you found yourself where you longed to stand,
In repose of the Fatherland.
Funeral services were held at the residence Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. G. M. Wilson, pastor of the M. E. circuit, officiating, assisted by Rev. Robert N. Montague, pastor of the First M. E. church.
Burial in Waverly cemetery was not until 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, on account of holding the body until the arrival of two grandsons, Carl and William Fletcher, of Mitchell, S. D.
