The very large funeral attested to the esteem in which Brother Frank was held in the town and community. The G.A.R. attended in a body. Owing to the disagreeable weather, the ritual services of the order usually given at the cemetery was impressingly given at the church. Interment in the Mt. James cemetery. His work here was faithfully and conscientiously done, and he was waiting for the lily white messenger. May we all strive for the faith and trust that was his. May the Lord comfort his wife, whose devotion and untiring attention to the last was most beautiful to see. May He heal all the wounded hearts in the family circle, and may we all come to understand, and consequently to meet with greater confidence, all the dispensations of Providence. The family appreciate very much the many kindnesses shown them during the sickness, and return their hearty thanks. D.H. Cramer, Pastor. |
