Those who attended the funeral from out of town were Alex Acre, of Clifford; Mr. and Mrs. John Acre, of Pontiac; and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Doty of Pontiac.

In loving memory of our husband and father, Frank Acre:
Dearest father thou hast left us
And our loss we deeply feel,
But ’tis God that has bereft us
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When our work on earth is done,
When in heaven in joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Weep not that his toils are over
Weep not that his race is run,
God grant we may rest as calmly
When our work like his is done.
Till then we yield with gladness
Our father to him to keep,
And rejoice in the sweet assurance,
He giveth His loved one sleep.
Earth has lost it’s look of gladness
Heaven seems to us more bright.
Since the spirit of our dear father
Took his happy homeward flight.
And we long to cross the river,
Long to rest upon that shore,
There to see and know and love him,
With the Savior and our loved ones gone before.
His loving wife and children
