He leaves beside his wife and four children, one grandson, one brother, five sisters and a host of nieces and neighbors. When a young man he united with the M.E. Church at Almena, Kans. His outstanding trait of character was honesty, and his firm stand in his belief of the right as he saw it. He made friends wherever he went. He loved his home best, and found contentment there. Life, we've been long together, Thru sunshine and thru cloudy weather. 'Tis hard to part when friends are dear, Perhaps 'twill cause a sigh, a tear, So steal away, give little warning. Say not "good night," but in some fairer clime Bid me "good morning" CARDS OF THANKS We take this means of thanking our many friends and neighbors for their expressions of sympathy and deeds of service rendered in our hour of deep bereavement. Your many acts of kindness are deeply appreciated.
