"Two more hands are gently folded
On a faithful father's breast;
Two more feet have ceased to wander
Through life's stormy wilderness.
Dearest father, how we miss thee
Since thy face we see no more;
Yet we hope ere long to greet thee
On the fair celestial shore."
Obituary from the Herald of Truth newspaper.
