Shaffer and Robert Peters Our Rendezvous, No longer here, It cannot be. 'Tis with them in eternity. The old double drag, the rat-a-tat-tum, The boom boom-boom of the big bass drum. The screaming fifes that led us on Are silent now. Our pals have gone. Adieu. With music hushed, we stand and through Our tears, we gaze into the blue And pray to Him for strength to wait, With aching heart and burdened soul The final call-the last long roll. But hark! It calls! Oh precious sound! We of the old drum corps have found Our rendezvous. Contributed by Roy F. DeSart, of Mason City. Illyria Items The funeral of Robert Peters of Elgin, was held at the Illyria church last Friday. Many came to pay their respects to an old friend and neighbor. We extend our sympathy to the widow and relatives of Mr. Peters.
