In Loving Memory of Robert Boyd Lewis

The death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Lewis on October 1st, 1914, and took their son, Robert Boyd Lewis away; but the Lord knew best and called him away from us. Oh how sad it isto part with of God's will for he never makes mistakes. His remains were laid to rest a Poplar Church the following day by tender loving hands. The funeral services were conducted by the pastor, Mr. Phillips. He was born August 27th, 1891. His life was short here on earth, but some day we cango to meet our loved ones where there will be no more parting, no more sorrow and pain. He leaves a father, mother, three brothers, one half brother, three sisters and two half sisters and a large circle of friends and relatives to mourn their loss, but while we mourn we hope it is his eternal gain. Dear brother, your place here on earth cannont be filled, your bright face and precious smiles are gone, we shall meet him no morein this world, but we hope to meet him in Heaven. So brother, your parting hour came too soon, it was when life had just begun, your loving hands and heart are stilled, God called you away. Although you are hidden from our sight, your work among us here is done, your loving memory still will live among us here for years to come. We will miss you, Bob, as we go to our work along the road; your unexpected sudden death brought sorrow to many a home. Your kind and willing ways won our love in many ways. We will awlays hold you inesteem and think of you in esteem and though of you as our dearest brother so good and true; your vacant place is hard to fill with one so good as you. Sleep on dear brother and take thy rest, God called you home. He thought it best; but in your death we understand we must submit to God's command. Truly we can say a loving one is gone, a voice we loved is still, a place made vacant in our home which never can be filled. May we all find a home in Heaven when our earthly task is done.
